Bread is too good of a thing to let go to waste. How many times does your uneaten bread go to the birds? If for some insane reason you didn’t eat the entire baguette for dinner, use the leftovers to make some delicious bread crumbs, which are always handy for adding texture to casseroles. Bread crumbs can go stale quickly, so keep them fresh longer by storing in the freezer.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Step 2
Cut the bread into 1-inch cubes and pulse in a food processor to make coarse crumbs. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and dry them out by baking for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes. Allow the crumbs to cool completely.
Step 3
Return the dried crumbs to the food processor. Add the thyme, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then pulse until the crumbs are finely processed and well mixed with the seasoning.
Step 4
Store in an airtight container for up to six months.
