Equipment
Method
- Slice your bread to fit the size of your food processor opening.
- Freeze bread (uncovered) for 2 hours or as long as overnight.
- Fit food processor with shredder blade or use the large holes on a box grater if you prefer to grate by hand.
- Process the bread creating large irregular flakes. Do not over process.
- Spread the breadcrumbs out on a baking sheet in a thin layer.
- Bake crumbs in a low oven (275F) for 10 to 20 minutes or until dry but not toasted. The crumbs should be pale in color and not golden brown.
- Cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks at room temperature or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
You can use a dehydrator instead of an over to dry out the crumbs. Time is about 2 hours.
Grating by hand on the large holes of a box grater can be used instead of a food processor.
Crustless white bread is preferred to maintain the uniform pale color.
