Pasta/Pizza - Homemade breadcrumbs from bread by Minodora L. - Recipia

Black or white bread is left to dry in the sun for two days and becomes homemade breadcrumbs once ground. You can start with any kind of bread, and the crumbs come out coarser or finer depending on how long you run the grinder. I prefer them coarser when I use them for schnitzel. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 0 minutes. Rest: 2 days. Total time: 2 days and 10 minutes. Servings: 10. Approximately 80 kcal and 3 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

3 pieces of black or white bread (approximately 300 g)

Preparation

1. Cut the bread into large pieces, about 4 cm. This takes 5 minutes. 2. Lay the pieces out in the sun and leave them for 2 days, until they break easily and no longer have a soft center. 3. Put the dried bread through a meat grinder for about 5 minutes.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use 300 g of gluten-free bread; regular bread contains gluten. Black bread makes darker breadcrumbs, while white bread makes lighter ones. If the bread is dense or the pieces have a thick center, drying may take longer; they are ready when they break easily and no longer have a soft center. Don’t stack the pieces while drying, because the covered parts dry more slowly. As with schnitzel, you can use them for breading or sprinkle them over pasta. Keep them in a sealed jar in a dry cupboard, and throw them away if they smell musty.
