Making Your Own Bread Crumbs |
|
|
Do you make your own bread crumbs? This is frugal cooking at its best. Make fresh bread crumbs from stale bread OR from toasted bread by placing torn bread into the bowl of a food processor or using a blender.
If all else fails, put in a bowl and use your hand mixer and blend until the crumbs are fine or the desired consistency. I suggest now is the time to add favorite seasonings such as onion or garlic powder with some dried parsley. Store in a resealable bag in the freezer for up to 6 months and have handy any time you have a need. Please note, you do not have to defrost the bread crumbs if they are totally dried before freezing.

RE: Making Your Own Bread Crumbs
I use the food processer & as the bread [ or cornflakes ] are crumbling I add a little virgin olive oil, I find this easyer that adding oil or butter to the top of the chicken pieces etc, it helps the crumbs stick without having to dip in egg first too. for fish " shake 'n bake " I add a little lemon juice & lemon thyme & a little seltic salt, & for chicken I add savory & poultry seasoning & a little celtic salt. I put crumbs in clean milk cartons in the freezer, [ don't freeze in plastic any more]. I wash out all my "cardboard" milk, cream , ice cream etc cartons out & use them I freeze stews, chili, steakes, fish , chicken pieces etc all in these cartons now .

You can use a hand grater, too. Dried bread is the easiest, but even fresh bread will break up this way. I save mine for stuff like meat loaf and breaded zucchini. With my own bread crumbs, I can control the amount of salt that goes into the food -- really nice if you've got high blood pressure or heart disease.
