How do I make bread crumbs?

Answer 1

Gather all your stale bread and dry thoroughly in a slow oven (225°F.) Turn slices so both sides dry evenly.

Take dried bread and break into blender and let it rip. Or place bread in plastic bag with end closed loosely and roll with rolling pin.

You can add your favorite herbs to have seasoned bread crumbs.

Great way to use up leftover bread and the heels if your kids, like mine, won't eat them.

Use the crumbs to coat chicken, fish, in meat loaves, or hamburger patties to stretch, or sprinkle on top your favorite casseroles or veggies.

Answer 2

This is how I make bread crumbs. Leave a few slices of bread, or how ever much you need, layed out to dry on a cookie sheet. Turn over so both sides dry. If you are in a hurry, you can do this in a low oven, but watch closely, because you do not want toast! Break apart the bread. If you want fine crumbs, place in a zip-lock bag, remove the air, and roll with a rolling pin. If you want flavored bread crumbs, shack a little seasoning on the bread when you lay it out to dry.

I do this and tear my bread in pieces and make my own stuffing. It's much cheaper and better than store bought. It also makes great breading. I always buy the cheepest bread at the store, the quality of the bread makes no difference.

Answer 3

Using stale bread is a common practice for this. Let the bread stand in the open uncovered for a couple of day and crumble by hand or food processor. The food processor or blender works best, then add the seasonings you like mix well and wallah bread crumbs. If you happen to be looking to cut down on carbs try crumbling some pork grinds not a bread crumb but the results are the same. Hope this helps.

Homemade Bread Crumbs:

Soft Bread Crumbs:
Put sliced bread in a blender. Process until crumbs form. One slice makes about 3/4 cup of crumbs.

Fine, Dry Bread Crumbs:
Cut bread into 1/2 inch cubes. Bake in a single layer on a baking pan at 300 degrees F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until dry. Stir a couple times during baking. Let cool, then put into a blender or food processor and process until you have fine crumbs. One slice makes about 1/4 cup of fine crumbs.
-----------

Seasoned Breadcrumbs
5-6 slices stale bread or fresh bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (baguette)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper

If using fresh baguette, place slices on a cookie sheet in a preheated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly and cut into cubes.

Place cubes of stale or toasted baguette in a blender. Add herbs, salt and pepper and process for 15-20 seconds, or until the mixture is ground into fine crumbs.

Storing the bread crumbs is as simple as putting it in a ziploc bag and throwing it in the fridge if you’re going to use it soon, or the freezer for longer term storage. Also, you might want to spread out the bread crumbs on a plate before putting it in the bag to get rid of even more moisture.

Answer 7

Depends on what consistency of crumbs you want. Fine or coarse. For fine bread crumbs, put the slices straight out of the bag into the food processor. For coarser one, leave the cut slices out overnight. For really coarse ones, you can toast the slices.

Sometimes I even season mine with powdered garlic, onion powder, chili powder, whatever I feel like. Dump them in a ziplock and label them and toss them in the freezer for future use. I must have 5-6 different kinds of bread crumbs in my freezer.

Answer 8

If you're in a hurry, you can toast bread and run it through a food processor. Gives the crumbs a nice flavor.
