BEST BREAD CRUMB MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250*F Lay out old bread slices on a 11x15 jelly roll pan. Spray each side with one spray of butter flavored cooking spray. Bake in oven to dry out the bread about 10 minutes per side until bread is hard and dry. Time is approximate and be sure to watch so bread slices do not burn
• In your food processor or blender crumble the dry bread and add the package of Italian Salad Dressing mix and dry milk powder. Blend well and put in air tight container. Attach recipe to this. It makes about 2 cups of dry bread crumbs. You can freeze your bread ends till you have enough to make the crumbs. No waste!! Add 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs for crispier coating!
• Print Directions and cut and paste to the container so you can make these again. Try your own spice mixture you use for your meats for a different blend. I have several flavors, Ranch Bread Crumbs, Cajun Bread Crumbs, Taco Bread Crumbs.. Use up all your old spices.

BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• There is a real advantage to making bread crumbs instead of using pre-packaged ones, with their unpleasant preserved taste. Full tasting bread, like a sourdough or herbed bread makes for delicious crumbs. When made from fresh bread the crumbs absorb less fat or liquid than a dry crumb, making them ideal for topping off gratins, or breading meat and fish when frying. Dry crumbs are better suited for stuffings since they absorb moisture just like a sponge. Most breads can be turned into bread crumbs by simply grinding them in a food processor. Trimming crusts makes for a more delicate crumb and for very fine crumbs, strain them through a fine-mesh sieve. Store bread crumbs in a tightly sealed plastic bag in the freezer.
