Buddy's Breadcrumbs

INGREDIENTS

1	pound loaf rustic Italian bread such as Pugliese
1	cup finely grated pecorino cheese
2	garlic cloves put through a garlic press
2	tablespoons dried Italian herbs
3	tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2	tablespoon fine sea salt

PREPARATION:

The day before you plan to make breadcrumbs: Slice the bread into ½ inch slices. Place slices on cake racks to dry overnight.
In batches, crumble or tear bread slices into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse the bread multiple times until the crumbs are about the size of a dime.
Add the cheese, garlic, herbs and salt and continue to pulse until the breadcrumbs become fine. Store what you are not using in the freezer or in your refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Note: I like to use Penzey’s for the best quality dried herbs, and their parsley is a deep, beautiful green.
