Homemade Breadcrumbs
Learn how to make breadcrumbs at home with this easy homemade bread crumbs recipe using leftover stale bread.
Servings: 2 cups of bread crumbs
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cubed White Bread about 6 slices
- 2 Teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Place the cubed bread crumbs in a food processor and blend for about 20-30 seconds (you may need to help it along every 10 seconds or so). You’re looking for a crumb size slightly larger than your finished desired consistency, since the bread crumbs will shrink a bit after baking.
- Spread the crumbs on an ungreased standard baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Stir the crumbs around. Bake for another 5 minutes and stir again. Bake for a final 5 minutes before pulling them out of the oven and letting them cool on the pan for 10 minutes.
Notes
A few day old or stale bread is great to use in this recipe.
This recipe makes Italian bread crumbs. You can easily leave out the Italian seasoning and just add the salt and some ground pepper or substitute the Italian seasoning with Greek seasoning or paprika.
