Homemade Japanese Panko Breadcrumbs

Method 1 (Food Processor/Blender)

1. Cut 2 slices white bread into rough cubes.
2. Place the cubes in the food processor / blender and blitz for a few seconds. (Don't blitz for too long or the panko will be too fine.)

Method 2 (freeze and grate)

1. Cut the bread slices into 3-4 pieces and place them on a tray.
2. Place the tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the bread is completely frozen.
3. Take one piece of bread from the freezer and grate using a grater with large holes.
4. Repeat until all of the bread is grated into panko breadcrumbs.
