Homemade Breadcrumbs

Ingredients

  • 4 slices frozen bread I used Martin’s Whole Wheat Potato Bread
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp wheat germ optional
  • 2 Tbsp ground flax seed optional1 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Break 2 slices of frozen bread into smaller pieces and place into blender. Mix for about 10-15 seconds or until you get fine crumbs.
  2. Empty the crumbs into a pan or skillet. Toast crumbs over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until nicely browned.Remove crumbs into a mixing bowl.
  3. Repeat steps 1-3 with the other 2 slices of bread. Note: the breadcrumbs toast much easier in smaller batches.
  4. Add remaining spices into toasted breadcrumbs and mix well.
  5. Use immediate or place in an air tight container and store in the freezer until future use.

Recipe Notes

Makes about 2 cups of seasoned breadcrumbs. When making my breadcrumbs, I love using whole wheat bread with wholesome ingredients. Here I opted for Martin's 100% Whole Wheat Potato Bread which has NO high fructose corn syrup, NO artificial dyes, NO cholesterol or trans fat, is NON-GMO and is a good source of protein at 6 grams per slice!
