Kittencal's Seasoned Dry Italian Breadcrumbs
"These are so much better than any store-bought bread crumbs, use in any recipe calling for seasoned breadcrumbs, they make a wonderful breading for baked chicken and fish --- store in the fridge or freezer and use when needed --- the recipe can be reduced to one loaf of bread if desired, since I use these on a regular basis I most always make two loaves."

These are so delicious and one more easy way to eliminate unnecessary additives to our food! I have always hated the way the container of bread crumbs smelled, not appetizing! I used two loaves of whole wheat bread, made them two months ago and still have about half of the gallon size ziploc left. Thank you for so many great recipe ideas! -
Kittencal recipes are always the best! I was out of seasoned crumbs and searched Food.com. When I saw Kittencal's recipe popup, I knew it would be good......and it was great! I used plain bread crumbs instead of fresh bread and it worked out wonderfully. Thank you Kittencal! -
Alleluia ~~ an easy way to always have breadcrumbs on hand! Plus, I used whole wheat bread to up the nutrient factor. I used these breadcrumbs in Recipe #69173 and froze the rest. Thank you for posting! -
Like StacyW, I save my bread loaf ends and use them for these breadcrumbs. I toast the bread straight from the freezer and it always turns out great. I've never used store-bought crumbs since I found this recipe.

Somehow posted a review to the wrong recipe, so let me try again. I made a much smaller batch, but it turned out great. Everyone commented on the great flavor in the breading on the chicken. .
