I was shocked when I saw the exhaustive list of things I couldn't even pronounce on my bread crumb tin (check out the long list on the label). So, I dumped them out and made my own.
I save leftover ends of bread or 1/2 loaves in the freezer to reheat and eat with olive oil, salt and pepper. It's a good tide you over snack while you are cooking. I buy a lot of ciabatta type breads from Central Market and Whole Foods so I always seem to have bread around that won't keep very long. My body would not like if I downed a loaf of bread with dinner even though my mouth might think it's a good idea.
What you need-
4 C day old breads cubed
1/4 C good parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp of Italian Seasoning and a food processor
I put mine back in the canister and put the canister in a zip lock back and put them in the freezer since there are no preservatives in the mix. I need breadcrumbs that are toasted and not toasted, depending on the recipe so I left these raw and will toast them if needed as I go.
I have found several alternatives to seasoning mixes for fajita's, tacos and salad dressing. It's so simple, cheaper and better for you. You would be surprised how many things have MSG in them.
