HOW TO MAKE BREAD CRUMBSLearning how to make bread crumbs is easy and I give you three ways to do it; that is with a knife, food processor, or blender. The blender and food processor make uniform bread crumbs. Fresh bread crumbs are made from bread with the crust cut off.
4 slices of bread = 1 cup of bread crumbs If the bread is really soft, let it sit on the counter to dry out a bit, and then cut into crumbs with a knife. Otherwise place in a blender or food processor to make crumbs. Onion rolls are wonderful and one large roll will make approximately 2 cups of crumbs. A blender or food processor will give you fresh bread crumbs in 30 seconds. When the blender is running, add small chunks of bread through the hole in the cover of the blender. If you like you can place the bread crumbs in a hot dry pan to toast them.
You can also add the following spices to one cup of bread crumbs: This is wonderful over fish. Experiment and make your own bread crumbs - it makes a good meal; GREAT. |
