Servings: 2 cups (varies slightly based on bread used)
Calories: 257kcal
Ingredients
- 4 cups white bread cubed (about 6 slices)
For Italian Style Bread Crumbs:
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once you have your bread cut into cubes and measured, place them in a food processor and blend for about 20-30 seconds (you may need to help it along every 10 seconds or so). You’re looking for a crumb size slightly larger than your finished desired consistency, since the bread crumbs will shrink a bit after baking.
- Spread the crumbs on an ungreased standard baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Stir the crumbs around. Bake for another 5 minutes and stir again. Bake for a final 5 minutes before pulling them out of the oven and letting them cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
To Make Italian Style Bread Crumbs:
- Place bread crumbs in a medium mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the seasonings over the top and gently stir.
- Store as you would regular bread crumbs.
Notes
Store homemade bread crumbs in the pantry for up to 2 weeks.
