💡 Tips
- Use stale bread! This way, it won’t clump up in the food processor into a paste, and will blitz into crumbs instead!
- If using freshly baked bread, tear it up into pieces and let it sit at room temperature for a day or two. OR, dry it out in the oven at 300°F/150°C for 10-15 minutes! Make sure to let it completely cool before food processing.
- Feel free to add dried spices, like dried oregano, basil, or parsley!
- Try using specialty breads for more depth of flavor. For example, rye bread, garlic bread, etc. Just make sure they are fully dry and stale before blending!
How to Make Homemade Bread Crumbs
Cut stale bread into 1- to 2-inch pieces and place into food processor. Pulse until you get crumbs, then transfer to a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 300°F/150°C for 10-15 minutes, until lightly toasted and dry.
Let completely cool, then transfer to an airtight container.
