Home Made Bread crumbs:

Let’s get started.

• Pick you favorite type of bread to use as breadcrumbs.  Who ever said plain white bread was the only type of breadcrumbs we are allowed to eat?
• Toast or Bake the bread if your bread is too soft or want a more dry breadcrumb.  I bake the bread in my toaster oven for a few minutes.
• Tear or cut the bread into small chunks.  This makes the process of making crumbs of it a little quicker.
• Throw the bread into a food processor or blender with whatever seasoning you would like.  Italian seasoning is popular, but any type of seasoning will do.
• Let it run for 10-20 seconds, depending on how small you want the breadcrumbs to be.

Garlic Knots

When making pizza if you have any left over dough. Cut into strips,not fat ones but a little on the long side. Make knots with the strips,once into knots top them all with olive oil,try to get sides as well. In a small bowl,unless you have a lot of knots,mix garlic salt, a little garlic powder,sea salt and Basil. The amount depends on how strong you want the garlic flavor and how many knots you have. Sprinkle over each knot then place them on a cooking sheet for the oven or toaster oven. Then top all with a little more garlic powder. Heat at 425 for about 7-9 mins. Watch to make sure the tops don't burn.
