HOMEMADE PANKO BREAD CRUMBS
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.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Bread: For authentic panko, use a Japanese-style square-shaped white bread. If you don't have access to Japanese bread, you can substitute a French baguette or Italian ciabatta bread.
- Cut the Crusts: Before processing the bread, remove the crusts to ensure a light and airy texture in the final product.
- Freeze the Bread: Freezing the bread before processing helps to create a more even crumb and makes it easier to grate.
- Grate the Bread: Use a box grater with large holes to grate the frozen bread. This will create the characteristic flaky texture of panko breadcrumbs.
- Season the Breadcrumbs: To add extra flavor, season the breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other herbs and spices of your choice.
- Use Fresh Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs are best used fresh. If you need to store them, keep them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Panko breadcrumbs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from crispy fried chicken to flavorful meatballs. By following these tips, you can easily make your own panko breadcrumbs at home, ensuring a light and airy texture and delicious flavor in your culinary creations. Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create unique and flavorful variations of panko breadcrumbs that will elevate your dishes to the next level.
