Ingredients

  • 8slices white bread

Preparation

Active Time: 5 minutes Inactive Time: 30 minutes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake slices of bread in a single layer (either directly on the oven racks or on a baking pan) until bread is completely dried out, about 20 minutes. Cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Break toasted bread into medium- size pieces and add to work bowl. Pulse 6 to 8 times, then process on High until desired texture is achieved, about 30 to 60 seconds.

Note: Breadcrumbs can also be made from day-old bread without baking. Simply break into pieces and follow above instruction until finely chopped.

Seasoned Breadcrumbs: Add ¼ teaspoon each kosher salt, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder and onion powder to work bowl with bread pieces and process as above.
