Ingredients
Day-old bread
however much you have
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F.
While your oven is coming to temperature, put your bread in a food processor or blender and pulse until you have crumbs.
Spread the breadcrumbs into an even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a
silicone baking mat
.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, stir in dried herbs or spices if using.
Notes
You'll reach the best consistency with a food processor, but even if you don't own one, you can still make homemade breadcrumbs.
Here's what to do instead: use a spice grinder, heavy rolling pin, or a kitchen mallet.
Regardless of what method you choose
, you'll achieve the best results by adding the bread in small amounts until you've used it all up.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.
