Homemade Bread Crumb Recipe
Description
The Homemade Bread Crumb Recipe starts by breaking down bread into manageable pieces depending on bread density, ensuring the food processor creates crumbs of even size. Baking the crumbs at 250°F encourages slow drying, which produces crisp, golden crumbs without burning. Italian seasoning is incorporated to enhance the flavor, making these crumbs useful for a variety of culinary applications like coatings, toppings, or stuffing ingredients.
The process yields bread crumbs with varied textures depending on how finely the bread is processed, giving the option to use coarser or finer crumbs as required. Distributing the crumbs on a baking sheet and stirring occasionally ensures even toasting and prevents clumps. The seasoning adds a herby aroma and flavor which can complement many dishes where plain breadcrumbs might be too bland.
This recipe allows for creativity by using any bread you have on hand and adjusting the seasoning. The final bread crumbs can be stored for multiple uses, providing a handy ingredient to add texture and flavor to meals.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces bread roughly 4 cups, of your choice
- 1 tablespoons Italian seasoning homemade
Instructions
- Set the rack to the middle of the oven and preheat to 250°F.
- While the oven is heating, break the bread down into small pieces. 1” by 1” will do. If it is a dense bread (sourdough, country loaf, etc), try to break it down into half that size. This will help the food processor create a better sized crumb.
- Grab the food processor and give the chunks of bread a few blitzes until the desired crumb size has been reached.
- Spread the breadcrumbs out on a baking sheet in an even layer and bake until golden brown, approximately 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they are cooking and toss as needed.
