One recipe, endless options.
Breadcrumbs are delicious as a topping on bakes, gratins, casseroles plus you can use them to crumb meats and vegies. Try them tossed over salads and sprinkled over pretty much everything.
Directions
-
Cut or tear the bread into pieces and toss with olive oil, salt and herbs. For a finer bread crumb, you can use a food processor.
-
Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until golden and crisp.
-
After the breadcrumbs have cooled, transfer them to an airtight bag and seal. Using a rolling pin, gently crush the bread until a fine crumb.
-
Remove and store in an airtight container and use as needed.
-
Texture: for finer breadcrumbs, crush them into finer crumbs or use a food processor. If using a food processor, put the toasted bread and other ingredients into the base and pulse until it is the consistency you like.
-
Tore your homemade breadcrumbs in an airtight container for up to two months in the pantry. Refresh in the oven as needed.
