HOW TO MAKE BREAD CRUMBS AT HOME | HOMEMADE BREAD CRUMBS



You may have wondered how you can make bread crumbs. So often recipes call for bread crumbs, and you may feel like you need to rush out to the store and go purchase some bread crumbs. Did you know you can prepare these at home?
Today  I'm with a simple recipe of making breadcrumbs. You can use breadcrumbs for cutlets, tikkis ,pattice ,corn balls,coat chicken with, or even to put in a meat loaf etc for binding. I used brown bread you can use white bread too.



Ingredients:

Left over Bread - 4 to 5 slices


Method:

1. Cut  corners of the bread slices with knife .This is optional, you can use the corners also.  Toast the bread in tawa until crisp .The bread should be perfectly crisp when you remove it from the tava/griddle.  It should snap when you break up the pieces of bread.  Place bread into either a mixer or a blender, and process until the bread crumbs have a fine texture.



2. Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins, place the bread slices in the try and bake it 5-7 mins until the bread slices turn golden brown.Place bread into either a mixer or a blender, and process until the bread crumbs have a fine texture..

3.You can store your bread crumbs for up to six months.  Store in an air tight container in the freezer.  You don't even need to let the bread crumbs thaw before using.

4.Alternately  wrap  the bread slices in a plastic wrapper and keep it in the freezer for about an hour the bread will become dry then you can pulse it.



VARIATIONS

•You can season the bread crumbs before storing.To make flavoured or seasoned bread crumbs, toast the bread cubes on a tawa in low heat until golden brown. Cool down and pulse it along with the seasoning of your choice - garlic powder / pepper powder / italian seasoning / oregano etc.
