This Easy Homemade Seasoned Bread Crumb Mix is a versatile and flavorful pantry staple made from Italian bread and a blend of classic Italian herbs and spices. Perfect for coating meats, topping casseroles, or adding crunch to salads, this recipe is simple to prepare and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Seasoned Bread Crumb Mix

  • 4 ounces Italian bread, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Instructions

  1. Combine the Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including cubed Italian bread and the dried herbs and spices. This ensures an even flavor distribution when processed.
  2. Process into Crumbs: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, use the hand crunch method by wrapping the bread in a paper towel and squeezing until crumbed, or grate the bread using a box grater over a large bowl to achieve fine crumbs without electrical equipment.
  3. Bake the Bread Crumbs: Transfer the formed bread crumbs into a 15x10x1-inch baking pan spread evenly. Bake uncovered for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning. Bake until the crumbs are lightly browned and crisp.
  4. Cool and Store: Remove the baking pan from the oven and let the bread crumbs cool completely. Once cool, store them in an airtight container for later use. This will keep them fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • You can customize the herb blend according to your preference or the dish you’re preparing.
  • Ensure the bread is completely dry before processing to achieve crispy crumbs.
  • Use stale bread if available; it works even better for crumbs.
  • Store the crumbs in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
  • If you want gluten-free bread crumbs, substitute Italian bread with gluten-free bread and adjust seasoning accordingly.
