Homemade Bread Crumbs / How to make Bread Crumbs at Home - 275th post

Hi friends, here is my 275th post! I need to thank you all for the support & continuous encouragement all through this year. This is the last post for this year; let us welcome 2015 for more happiness & peace!

Homemade breadcrumbs are easy to prepare using the leftover bread which is a better option than the store-bought and cost effective!

It is very useful to prepare cutlets and also used as a thickening agent in Tikkis, Kababs etc.. 

Here I have given the method to prepare bread crumbs in oven and stove top method. Do try and give your feedback.

Yield - Approximately 1½ to 2 cups

Ingredients:

White  / Wheat Bread slices - 10 

Directions:

Oven Method:

Place the bread slices in a tray and bake at 180 deg C for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven till it becomes golden brown in colour.  Remove and allow to cool.

Tear the bread into pieces and grind the bread into a coarse powder.

Cool completely before storing in an air tight container.

Stove top Method:

Toast the bread on both sides without applying ghee / butter till it tuns golden brown and crisp.

Tear the bread into pieces and grind the bread into a coarse powder and store in an air tight container.

Note:

You can store this in refrigerator for up to 2 months and freeze up to 6 months.

You can also add flavours (oregano, garlic powder etc.) to the breadcrumbs.
