CUSINERA’S HOMEMADE BREAD CRUMBS

CUSINERA'S HOME MADE BREAD CRUMBS© BUSOG! SARAP! 2011

Whenever we have leftover old and stale slice bread or rolls, I collect them and store them inside a freezer bag till I have enough to make homemade breadcrumbs.  What I love about this breadcrumbs is that even when you freeze it, it still have the same texture and doesn’t clump together.

~  Pound the broken pieces of baked bread/rolls until you have even fine breadcrumbs.  If you want a coarser breadcrumbs, don’t pound it to much.  Do this process until you have finished your batch of baked bread/rolls.

~  If you get pieces of bread/rolls that is still pliable, place it back on the baking tray and bake it further until it becomes hard and dry.

  2. Great idea using a mortar and pestle! I thought you would have needed to use a food processer (and i don't have one of those). this looks a lot better (and better clean up as well..). I always have to buy breadcrumbs cos the pre-made ones always go stale in my cupboard.. will try freezing them like your tip! My mum adds parmesan, garlic powder and dried parsley flakes to her breadcrumb mix, tastes great when you're making schnitzels..

  3. @Christine~ You can use a food processer but I showed it with a mortar and pestle for people who doesn't have one=) I also use to buy the packets from the grocery but I don't like them because they have that certain taste. Your Mum's mix sounds really good, will definitely remember, thanks for the tip=)
