Steps

How to make Breadcrumbs. With a few pantry ingredients and your oven, you’ll have better-than-store-bought crumbs in no time—customisable for any dish.

Ingredients

1
4–6 slices stale bread
2

½ tsp salt

3

½ tsp garlic powder or onion powder (optional)

4

1 tsp dried herbs (oregano, basil, thyme, or parsley) (optional)

5

1–2 tbsp olive oil

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 150°C fan forced (170°C). Line an oven tray with baking paper.
2
For extra taste, mix in optional seasonings and olive oil. Toss lightly and bake for 15-20 minutes.
3
Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on the tray. Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until dry and crisp but not browned. Allow the bread to cool completely.
4
In a food processor or blender pulse to your desired consistency.

Tips

1
Try seasoned crumbs with Italian herbs and cheese, or gluten-free crumbs with GF bread.
2
If you are using fresh bread, you will need to cook for an extra 5-10 minutes.
3
If you do not have a food processor you can use a rolling pin. Place the cooked bread in a sealed bag and crush until fine.

...And that's it, enjoy!
