I’ve been using a well known brand of bread crumbs for over 25 years. My mother used the same brand before me. I’m sure that’s why I was still buying it.At least until recently. In our effort to take preservatives and chemicals out of our diet and because I am a gluten free vegan, we upped the ante with our previous recipe. This gluten free seasoned bread crumbs recipe is now tried, true and loved! Homemade bread crumbs are easy and inexpensive.
Ingredients:
– 12 slices gluten free bread – I used odds and ends that I had in the fridge. The variety actually gave the crumbs color and extra taste.
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 2 teaspoons fresh chopped basil
– If you’re not dairy-free: 1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese.
Add whatever seasoning you want or leave them plain.
1. Toast 12 bread slices and cut into small pieces or cubes.
2. Using a food processor, pulse the bread cubes to a crumb consistency. I chose to use our Magic Bullet processor although my food processor works well too. I was able to process approximately one slice of bread at a time.
3. Mix all the bread crumbs together in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons basil. This is where you can make the bread crumbs taste exactly how you like them. Add whatever seasoning you want or leave them plain.
4. After the crumbs are mixed together with the seasoning, spread them evenly out on parchment paper until they are completely dry. I covered them with a lightweight tea towel and let them set overnight.
5. Scoop the bread crumbs into a container for storage.
I chose to store mine in a Zip Loc bag that I labeled with the date. Store in the freezer and enjoy!!
