Ingredients

  • 3 slices of white bread
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dried herbs optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  
  • First you’ll need to cut the crusts off each slice of bread.
  • To make these with a food processor-
  • Break apart the slices of bread into large chunks and place in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Pulse the food processor until the bread is chopped into very small pieces. I pulse for about 5-10 seconds and after about 4 times they are the perfect size.
  • Add the salt, pepper and herbs in before the last pulse to blend them
  • To make them by hand-
  • If you don’t have a food processor you can make these by hand. You’ll just need to rip apart the bread into tiny pieces and place it in a medium size bowl.
  • Add in salt, pepper, and spices if desired and stir until they are sell blended.
  • Spread the bread crumbs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes or until crispy. If you want toasted panko bread crumbs you can stir them and continue baking until they are a golden brown.
  • Use immediately or allow to cool completely before storing.
