Equipment

  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 cups gluten-free bread cubed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300ºF (150ºC) with the rack in the centre.
  • Add the cubed bread into a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process on high speed until bread crumbs form, 1-2 minutes.
    4 cups gluten-free bread
  • Transfer the crumbs to a large parchment-lined baking sheet, or split between two smaller ones. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring every five minutes, until lightly browned and dry to the touch.
  • For a finer crumb, cool and then blend again in a food processor until they've reached your desired consistency.
  • Transfer the cooled breadcrumbs to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 4 months.

Notes

To make Italian breadcrumbs: add ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ¼ teaspoon dried basil, and ¼ teaspoon dried oregano to the baked breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I recommend using a loaf that doesn't contain too many seeds or additions like hemp hearts. My gluten-free sourdough is perfect for this recipe.
