Bread Crumbs are certainly a must have to keep in your pantry at all times. I personally use them in a good portion of my recipes from breaded chicken to baked macaroni and cheese. A bonus is their shelf life, which usually extends out about 9 months. My personal favorite gluten free bread crumbs are the Schar brand which come unseasoned and in an 8.8 oz bag and cost about $3.49, depending on the store. Another one of my favorites are Gillian’s Foods Italian Bread Crumbs which come in a 12 oz container and cost about $6.19. I personally prefer to purchase the Schar bread crumbs and season them myself, and after a little prep at home and saving a little bit of money, my bread crumbs end up tasting just as good as the more expensive brand
So as I mentioned earlier, Schar bread crumbs are rice flour based and come unseasoned. I prefer seasoned bread crumbs for most of my recipes so I just add my own seasonings to them when I get home and store them in these handy Ziploc containers.
These bread crumbs have a great texture and taste in comparison to others that I’ve tried that are either too flaky or are very very bland.
What’s great about getting these bread crumbs is the ability to customize what spices you like in your seasoned bread crumbs. I usually like traditional Italian spices such as basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, and garlic salt. I typically add the bread crumbs to the container first, then add about one heaping tablespoon of each spice, cap the container, and shake them to mix!
Voila! Your seasoned gluten free bread crumbs are ready to use and enjoy! To store just seal and keep in a dry place and you’re set for weeks of yummy recipes!
TIP: A bonus to purchasing Schar products is the potential for coupons. You can sign up with the Schar Club on their website here and keep an eye out. Schar coupons also do occasionally appear on coupon sites and facebook as well. But no worries, as I see them, I’ll direct you to them so keep an eye out here!
Sincerely,

May 6, 2015 at 4:14 am (10 years ago)I am on a strict Gluten free diet and I can’t deny that sometimes I crave something so bad it just makes everything more emotionally charged. My favorite food of all time is Mozzarella sticks and for the longest time I was stuck eating string cheese, without the crunchy outside.
