To prepare breadcrumbs at home, you will need the following ingredients and kitchen tools:
- blender with a grinder - 1 pc;
- bread - optional;
- silicone spatula - 1 pc;
- wide non-stick baking tray - 1 pc;
- zip bags.
Preparation
- Any bread will do for making breadcrumbs at home. The choice depends on your preferences and what type you want to end up with: sweet white, creamy, or rye. It is best to use stale bread that is no longer suitable for making sandwiches. A baguette would be the best option. Breadcrumbs from a baguette will be crispy, moderately sweet, and incredibly aromatic. It is necessary to cut the bread into small pieces.
- Lay the bread on the baking tray. There is no need to use oil when baking. Place the bread in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. Set the mode to "Convection". Bake the bread until golden brown and crispy, constantly stirring the cubes with a silicone spatula.
- Let the prepared breadcrumbs cool slightly. They should not be left for a long time - the breadcrumbs will become soggy.
- Grind the breadcrumbs into a uniform crumb using a blender.
- The breadcrumbs are ready!
- It is advisable to place the homemade breadcrumbs in zip-lock bags. This way, they will not become soggy and will retain their structure. Homemade breadcrumbs can be stored for up to three months in a dark, cool place.
Breadcrumbs at home will be an ideal option for preparing many breaded dishes: cutlets, croquettes, schnitzels, chops, pies. They are incredibly easy to make! Quality is guaranteed! You can vary the size of the crumb to your liking.
