How to Make Kittencal's Seasoned Dry Italian Breadcrumbs

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Slice two loaves of bread into 1-inch thick slices. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheets and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly dried and golden.
  3. Let the bread cool completely. Once cool, cut or tear the bread into 1/2-inch cubes.
  4. Add the bread cubes to a food processor and pulse until you reach a fine crumb consistency.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  7. Transfer the seasoned breadcrumbs to a freezer-safe zip-top bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  8. (Optional) For smaller batches, simply halve all ingredient quantities and use one loaf of bread.
