HOMEMADE PANKO BREAD CRUMBS



Homemade Panko Bread Crumbs image

This recipe is from Bellaonline.com. I don't use them, much, but a lot of people do. Here is your chance to contron the ingredients in yours. Any white bread will do for making panko. An Asian chef I once worked with swore that the best homemade panko came from Wonder Bread! The yield will vary according to how large you make your crumbs, so I am guessing.

HOMEMADE PANKO BREAD CRUMBS

I love making the bread crumbs ahead and even freezing them. That way you don't put off a good casserole dish because you don't have bread crumbs for the topping.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 loaf of white bread alone or saltines, takes 23 to make a cup

Steps:

  • 1. Push chunks of white bread through the shredding disk of the food processor to make coarse crumbs.
  • 2. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees until the crumbs are dry BUT NOT TOASTED, about 6 to 8 minutes. Shake the crumbs at least 2 times during the cooking process. Be careful not to let them brown !!
  • 3. Immediately remove bread crumbs from oven and allow then to cool.
  • 4. Once cooled, crumbs may be stored in the freezer in a resealable plastic bag for several months. Be sure to scrunch the bag and remove the air before sealing.
  • 5. When using these crumbs you can incorporate Sesame seed, slivered almonds or chopped pecans (optional). You can also put the amount you are going to use along with a pats of butter. Pulse in the food processor to mix, just a couple of seconds and check for your desired look. Before adding as a topping, you can sprinkle the Sesame seed, about 1/4 th cup, slivered almonds or chopped pecan pieces. Sprinkle some cheese over top or add a small amount of salt and black pepper (be sure to focus on the words (VERY SMALL AMOUNTS)......

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread is easier to grate and yields more breadcrumbs than fresh bread.
  • Choose the right bread: For a light and airy texture, use a crusty bread like French bread or baguette. For a denser crumb, use a hearty bread like sourdough or whole wheat.
  • Grate the bread: Use a box grater or food processor to grate the bread into fine crumbs. You can also use a blender, but be careful not to over-process the bread, or you'll end up with a powdery texture.
  • Season the breadcrumbs: Add some flavor to your breadcrumbs by seasoning them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or other herbs and spices.
  • Toast the breadcrumbs: Toasting the breadcrumbs gives them a golden brown color and a crispy texture. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Store the breadcrumbs: Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the breadcrumbs for up to 6 months.

Making homemade panko bread crumbs is a great way to use up stale bread and add a delicious, crispy texture to your favorite dishes.
