Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Fresh bread slices (white, whole wheat, or any bread of choice)
Instructions
Take 4 slices of fresh bread and ensure they are soft and not stale.
Stack the bread slices on a clean cutting board, removing crusts if desired (optional for finer crumbs).
Tear the bread into small chunks by hand to prepare them for processing.
Place the bread chunks into a food processor or blender, filling the container no more than halfway to allow even processing.
Pulse the blender or food processor in short bursts, about 4-5 times, until the bread is broken down into fine, soft crumbs. Avoid over-processing as you want soft, fluffy crumbs rather than paste.
If you don't have a food processor, simply tear the bread into small pieces by hand and rub them between your fingers to create crumbs.
Transfer the soft bread crumbs to a bowl or storage container. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
