How to Make Breadcrumbs From Bread

How to Make Air Fryer Breadcrumbs

To start making your own air fryer breadcrumbs, cut each slice of your white bread into inch long squares. You do not need to cut the crust off of the bread for this recipe.

Now, place the bread squares onto the basket of your air fryer and set to roast for six to seven minutes on 340 degrees fahrenheit. After about five minutes, you should check the bread and remove it if need be. You do not want the bread to burn, so be sure to keep an eye on it.

Now, place the baked bread slices into your blender.

Then, add in your dried thyme and smoked paprika into the blender as well. If you wish, you can use other herbs and spices of your choosing. Close the blender lid and grind in ten to fifteen second bursts.

After each burst, check on the bread crumbs to see how finely blended they are. Blend until they are to your liking. If you want to get smaller, finer breadcrumbs you will want to grind the dried bread for longer.

Now, transfer the ground up breadcrumbs into a sealable container, such as a jar. Tightly close the lid and use whenever you need breadcrumbs. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator as that will keep them from getting damp.

How to Make Breadcrumbs in the Oven

Start by slicing the bread into squares an inch of diameter. Note that you do not need to to cut the crusts off for the purposes of this recipe.

Next, place the squares of bread onto an oven safe tray. Set your oven for 300 degrees fahrenheit and bake for ten minutes, until the bread is dry and hard. Keep an eye on the bread during this process so as to prevent it from burning.

Place the oven-dried slices of bread into a blender, along with the dried thyme and smoked paprika. Close the blender lid and blend in bursts of about ten to fifteen second.

After each blending session, check to see how finely blended the crumbs are. Now, you can blend them to your liking. Remember that for dinner breadcrumbs you will want to blend them for longer.

Place the breadcrumbs into a sealed container, such as a sealed bag or mason jar. Tightly close the container and store in a cool, dry place such as your refrigerator.

How to Make Breadcrumbs With Toaster

When learning how to make breadcrumbs at home, one of the easiest ways is to use your toaster. This is also a great method if you want to learn how to make breadcrumbs fast.

To start, lightly toast your bread until it is dry, but not burnt. Allow the toasted bread to sit for twenty four hours so that it can dry longer.

Next, break the slices of toast into larger pieces to make it easier for them to blend. Add them to the blender along with your spices.

Close the lid of the blender and grind the crumbs in fifteens second bursts. The more you grind the finer your bread crumbs will be. Blend until they are to your liking.

Now, pour the breadcrumbs into a container of some kind, such as a mason jar or a sealable bag. Tightly seal the container and store somewhere that is dry. Personally, I recommend that you store bread crumbs in a refrigerator.
