KITTENCAL'S SEASONED DRY ITALIAN BREADCRUMBS
These are so much better than any store-bought bread crumbs, use in any recipe calling for seasoned breadcrumbs, they make a wonderful breading for baked chicken and fish --- store in the fridge or freezer and use when needed --- the recipe can be reduced to one loaf of bread if desired, since I use these on a regular basis I most always make two loaves.

Steps:
- Slice the loaves of bread into quarters and leave out on the counter for 1-2 days (or you may also oven-dry the bread slices).
- Cut or break the bread in small cubes and place in a processor (you might have to do this in two batches) process until fine.
- Place the breadcrumbs into a bowl and add in all the remaining ingredients; mix gently.
- Pour the crumbs into a ziploc freezer bag and store in the freezer to use as needed.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN-STYLE BREAD
If you are in Canada use white all purpose, in U.S. use white bread flour for this recipe, I have made this bread successfully using half white and half whole wheat bread flour! This recipe can also be made by hand, although I have never tried it I imagine that the dough could also be kneaded in a bread machine and then shaped and baked in the oven. This is a delicious spongy-textured bread that goes perfect with a spaghetti or pasta dinner. I sometimes like to add in about 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning into the dough when kneading for a herbed flavor, you can also add in about 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese if desired, also vegetable or Canola can be used in place of olive oil, but olive oil is better! You can make two smaller loaves or shape into one larger loaf! I use only 1 teaspoon salt for this bread just personal preference, for some it might be on the "bland" side so you might want to increase the salt to 1-1/4 teaspoons. This dough makes a great focaccia also, just omit the cornmeal --- for pan greasing see my recipe#78579

Steps:
- Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer with the kneading attachment.
- Pour in 2-1/2 cups flour, cornmeal, 2 teaspoons sugar, olive oil and salt into the stainless steel mixing bowl.
- In a measuring cup proof the yeast with 1-1/4 cups warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
- Pour the water/yeast mixture into the bowl with the flour mixture in it, then start kneading adding in more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl, and dough is soft and smooth not sticky and wet (kneading should take about 6-8 minutes).
- Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45-50 minutes, or until doubled (watch the dough closely since you are using a smaller amount of flour, and using 3 teaspoons of yeast, the dough rises a little quicker!).
- Punch down; cover and let rest for about 10-12 minutes in the bowl (this is important, the dough must rest for 10-12 minutes after punching down and before shaping!).
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly-floured surface and evenly divide in half.
- Shape each half into a thin 10-12-inch long loaf (or you can shape in one thicker shorter loaf if desired).
- Place the shaped loaves onto a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet that has been lighly greased and then sprinkled with about 2 tablespoons cornmeal.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and let rise for about 25-30 minutes.
- Spray the tops of the bread with cooking spray (I use Pam olive oil spray for this).
- Bake at 400°F for about 20-22 minutes for 2 small long loaves, or until golden brown (adjust baking time longer for 1 large loaf).
- Cool on a wire rack.

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN BREADED BAKED PARMESAN PORK CHOPS
Use the thick-cut pork chops for this not fast-fry and only dry breadcrumbs for this or they will not hold on to the chops and plan ahead the chops need to sit a room temperature for about 45 minutes before coating --- if desired for a lower fat option you may skip the skillet browning and just bake in the oven

- Let the chops sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes.

- Brown the chops in the skillet on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side) sprinkling both sides with seasoned salt when browning (you may omit this step if desired and just bake in the oven).
- Place in prepared baking dish.
- Bake the chops for about 25 minutes or until cooked (the cooking time will vary depending on how thick your chops are).

KITTENCAL'S SOFT WHITE BAGUETTE-STYLE BREAD
If you are looking for a wonderful tender no-fail bread that you do not have to bother shaping into bread pans, then this is one that is fantastic! It is so simple to make on a heavy-duty stand mixer, although I have never tried this on a bread machine, I think you might just have good results that way also.

Steps:
- Prepare one large cookie sheet lined with foil and sprayed with non-stick cooking spray or sprinkled with yellow cornmeal.
- Attach the kneader blade to a heavy-duty stand mixer.
- In the stainless steel bowl, dump 3 cups flour (to start) 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon sugar.
- Melt the butter or Crisco shortening in the microwave for about 22 seconds then dump into the bowl with the flour, sugar and salt.
- In a small cup add in the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 1-1/4 cups warm water; cover with small clean cloth, and proof the yeast for 8-10 minutes, stirring just once with a small spoon or whisk (if the yeast doesn't foam discard and start again).
- After 10 minutes, add in the yeast/water mixture into the bowl and start kneading, adding in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough (careful not to add in too much flour, as this will create a heavy bread!).
- Knead for 7-8 minutes, or until dough is the right texture and is smooth.
- Remove dough from the bowl, and let sit on a lightly floured surface covered with a clean tea towel for 10 minutes (this is important!).
- After 10 minutes, knead very gently (dough will come together nicely).
- Form into a semi-round ball.
- Grease a large glass bowl (I just use the same stainless steel bowl that I made the dough in).
- Place the dough in the oiled bowl; cover with a clean tea towel and set in a warm place to rise aproximmately 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and remove to a floured surface.
- At this point you may cut the dough in half to make two small long breads, or keep into one piece for one large loaf.
- Using hands shape into a rectangle (no need to use a rolling pin this dough will shape very easy).
- Roll up tightly then seal all edges.
- Cover the shaped loaf/s with a clean dry tea towel, and let rise for about 30-35 minutes in a warm place.
- After rising set oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small cup whisk/mix together 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water.
- Lightly brush the egg white mixture over the dough, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- Bake for 25-33 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Delicious!

KITTENCAL'S ITALIAN TOMATO PASTA SAUCE AND PARMESAN MEATBALLS
There is a method to making the perfect sauce and that is a very long slow cooking time then refrigerate to blend the flavors, a good sauce needs time to "ripen" and develop it's full flavor, this sauce must be made a day or even up 4 days ahead in order for the flavors to intensify, the longer you leave it refrigerated the better it will be --- this recipe makes a fair amount use what you need then freeze the rest in plastic containers for another meal, for a quick thaw just pop in the microwave for about 8 minutes or a little more or thaw in refrigerator overnight, if desired you may partially precook the meatballs on a greased baking sheet in oven before adding to the sauce --- you will love this sauce and you will be making it often! ---- also see my recipe#150207

ITALIAN-STYLE ROLLS
I have made these buns many times, there wonderful with a pasta dinner, they bake out beautifully with a crispy light golden crust, you will get 8 large buns with this recipe! If you reside in the U.S. then use all bread flour, Canadian residents may use all-purpose flour --- I most always add in 1-1/2 cups of finely cubed cheddar towards the end of kneading, it really adds flavor to these buns
