Homemade Breadcrumbs

Published: May 7, 2019 · Last modified: May 7, 2019 by AnotherFoodBlogger

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

An essential (in my opinion) recipe for any household to have.  I’d be lying and so would many if you if you said you don’t throw out bread at some point in the week.  Why not take a few mins to turn them into homemade breadcrumbs?  Simple to make, saves on the shopping bill and in the case of AnotherFoodBloggers home they get used to add texture to multiple dishes!!

I’m not gonna bore you with a long winded story on homemade breadcrumbs!  Mainly because if I have no interest in writing one then I’m pretty confident in my thought process that you have very little interest in reading one too.

Homemade Breadcrumbs

There are 2 types of breadcrumbs I make at home

1. I use to crumb things like chicken, fish, jalapenos for some poppers and veal for some schnitzel.  These ones are simple to make.  Simply all you need to do is take old bread or toast some bread in the oven.  Then blend it up and you are done!

2. To add texture to dishes like pasta and my upcoming (posting later this week) mushroom dish.  To make these ones is a small bit harder but easy none the less.  I'll post this recipe below for you guys as I tend to use this one more regularly.  Check out my beef cheek ragu to see a good example of it.

Anywho - before I do actually bore you with a homemade breadcrumb story probably best you check out the recipe and get cooking!  Don't forget to subscribe and check my pics on instagram.

Happy Cooking and Happy Eating Friends!!

    I agree with Iris, I never even thought about making my own bread crumbs, but I can remember my mom doing it when I was little. I'm sooooo gonna try this out.

    It's weird how we've grown so used to packaged meals that we don't even think of making the simplest of things anymore. As a result, we don't really know what we're eating with all that processed stuff. Thanks for sharing!
