Homemade Bread Crumbs

Delicious in So Many Dishes...

Stale Bread (example...Italian Bread, Rolls, Semolina Bread, Seasoned or Flavored Bread)
Salt/Pepper
Dried Basil
Dried Parsley

Break bread into small pieces
Place into the blender or food processor
***Grind to desired consistency (not too powdery)
Remove crumbs and place in air tight container
Season with salt, pepper, basil and parsley
Cover and place in a cool dry place until ready to use

***If a recipe calls for powdery bread crumbs then re-process the amount needed for the recipe not the whole batch.  Powdery bread crumbs tend to melt away while cooking.
