Ingredients
- white bread - watch the video to see (use stale bread for best results; can use whole bread or just the white part)
- salt - watch the video to see (added especially when bread is wet to draw out moisture)
- flour (maida) - watch the video to see (optional, added if bread is not stale to help absorb moisture)
- semolina - 1 teaspoon per 1 cup bread crumbs (optional, about 1 teaspoon per cup of bread crumbs to improve texture)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Use stale white bread or whole bread. You can also use brown or whole wheat bread, but note that the crumbs will be darker.
- Attach food processor: Attach the food processor attachment to your mixer.
- Add ingredients: Put the bread pieces and salt into the food processor. Add flour if the bread is not stale. Optionally add semolina (1 teaspoon per cup of bread crumbs).
- Pulse the mixture: Run the mixer slowly in pulses (run and stop repeatedly) to avoid forming dough. The bread crumbs should remain fluffy and intact.
- Dry the trimmings: Do not throw away bread trimmings; dry them separately to use for dark bread crumbs.
- Use or store: Use the bread crumbs as needed. Note that bread crumbs made from brown or whole wheat bread will be darker and may brown quickly when fried.
