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.
