Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for color)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs. Stir well to evenly distribute.

Step 2

Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and dried parsley (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Taste a small pinch of the mix to adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or spices to your preference.

Step 4

Transfer the breading mix to an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag if not using immediately.

Step 5

Use the breading mix by dredging your protein or vegetable of choice in it. For best results, first coat the item in an egg wash (beaten egg mixed with a tablespoon of water) before dipping into the breading mix.

Step 6

Store any unused breading mix in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
