Homemade Bread Crumbs
Freshly made homemade breads crumbs are so easy to make and can add great flavor to many recipes.
Making breadcrumbs on your own also allows you to reuse those old loaves of bread that are just sitting there ready to be tossed.
Let’s get started.
- Pick you favorite type of bread to use as breadcrumbs. Who ever said plain white bread was the only type of breadcrumbs we are allowed to eat?
- Toast or Bake the bread if your bread is too soft or want a more dry breadcrumb. I bake the bread in my toaster oven for a few minutes.
- Tear or cut the bread into small chunks. This makes the process of making crumbs of it a little quicker.
- Throw the bread into a food processor or blender with whatever seasoning you would like. Italian seasoning is popular, but any type of seasoning will do.
- Let it run for 10-20 seconds, depending on how small you want the breadcrumbs to be.
That’s it. Now you have fresh breadcrumbs that will taste way better than any of the stuff you would ever buy in a grocery store while saving money.
Breadcrumbs is just another product that has unnecessary ingredients added to it by manufacturers to make it last forever. I was curious to see what was actually on the ingredients of a popular brand of breadcrumbs and was shocked to find that one of the top ingredients on the list was hydrogenated oil. I guess manufacturers will do anything to try to make their product taste better or last on the shelves longer. Just another reason to stick with making breadcrumbs on your own and reap the savings.
I have never made my own bread crumbs and usually just buy the store brand. I think I will have to try to buy an extra loaf of bread next time I go shopping, just so I have something left over to make bread crumbs with…
Fresh bread crumbs are so good! We never eat the ends of bread in our house, so I put them in the freezer and pull them out to use whenever a recipe calls for bread crumbs.
It is really good when we have something left we don’t eat from our food but then we can reuse it to make another fresh food. In this case, we can learn to produce our own food while we can keep our environment clean and healthy.
Good idea about freezing them Erin, I was always trying to figure out how to save them! Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ve always done this =D My father used to own a bakery and there is where I first learned about it! They would also use old hard bread to make some kind of Brazilian Desert… but I don’t remember the name
Till then,
