Homemade Bread Crumbs
Do you have any idea HOW easy it is to make homemade bread crumbs? Think of the many things you could do with them. This recipe shows you how to effortlessly make delicious bread crumbs.
Ingredients
- 6 slices of leftover bread (stale, or toasted and cooled)
Instructions
- Tear up the bread into smaller pieces and put in the food processor.
- Process until the bread is all broken into little bitty pieces-otherwise known as breadcrumbs. You can choose the texture you prefer for your recipe (larger or smaller crumbs).
- Use the bread crumbs right away or store them for later. Store in an air-tight bag or container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Store in a freezer bag in the freezer for 3 months.
Freezer Instructions
Freezer for Later: Place bread crumbs in a freezer-safe bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Label the container with amount of breadcrumbs, and freezing date. Freeze on a flat surface, so the breadcrumbs don’t all clump together in the freezer.
Prepare from Frozen: When you’re ready to use your frozen breadcrumbs, either thaw them overnight in the fridge or use the defrost setting on the microwave to quickly thaw them.
Notes/Tips
- I prefer to use a 100% whole grain loaf, since it has more fiber and nutrients.
- You can easily make these gluten-free by using a GF bread like Udi's or Canyon Bakehouse brand.
- Tear stale bread into little pieces and place them in a gallon-sized freezer bag in the freezer. Then, use them for bread crumbs next time you’re ready to make some.
