Steps:
- Pulse the bread in a food processor until they are crumbs.
- Add in the spices and either mix by hand or give another pulse in the processor.
- Notes: We use a hand processor and stop when we get to coarse crumbs.
- We add the spices straight to the processor and get the crumbs down to a slightly less coarse grind. We still don't go down to a fine grind though.
- We have found that when coating chicken or pork chops that the coarser grind makes for a really neat crunch.

Steps:
- There is a real advantage to making bread crumbs instead of using pre-packaged ones, with their unpleasant preserved taste. Full tasting bread, like a sourdough or herbed bread makes for delicious crumbs. When made from fresh bread the crumbs absorb less fat or liquid than a dry crumb, making them ideal for topping off gratins, or breading meat and fish when frying. Dry crumbs are better suited for stuffings since they absorb moisture just like a sponge. Most breads can be turned into bread crumbs by simply grinding them in a food processor. Trimming crusts makes for a more delicate crumb and for very fine crumbs, strain them through a fine-mesh sieve. Store bread crumbs in a tightly sealed plastic bag in the freezer.

SEASONED BREAD CRUMBS
Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Quick & easy way to make fine breadcrumbs homemade! Not that I think these are uniquely Irish bread crumbs, but I was glad to have come across a recipe for homemade seasoned bread crumbs in The New Irish Table and thought many of you would be too. Any bread should work with this recipe, but the recipe specified baguette. Instructions for using toasted bread instead of dried are my own. Toasting instructions should be reduced for thinner sliced bread (less than 3/4-1 inch). I tried this recipe using toasted sourdough bread and my only recommendation is that you process in batches. Otherwise, outcome was fantastic!

Tips for Making the Best Seasoned Breadcrumbs:
- Use fresh bread: Stale bread will result in dry, crumbly breadcrumbs. Use fresh bread for the best texture and flavor.
- Choose the right bread: The type of bread you use will affect the flavor and texture of your breadcrumbs. For a classic breadcrumb, use a white bread like a baguette or ciabatta. For a more flavorful breadcrumb, use a hearty bread like a sourdough or whole wheat.
- Toast the bread before making the breadcrumbs: Toasting the bread will give the breadcrumbs a more golden brown color and a nuttier flavor.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the breadcrumbs: This is the easiest way to get evenly sized breadcrumbs. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can use a grater or a knife to make the breadcrumbs.
- Season the breadcrumbs to taste: You can use a variety of seasonings to flavor your breadcrumbs. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried herbs.
Conclusion:
Seasoned breadcrumbs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be used to coat chicken, fish, and vegetables before frying or baking.
