Ingredients
- 6 White Bread (a day old bread slices)
- 1/4 tsp Salt and Black Pepper (for seasoned crumbs, optional)
Directions
- 1. Panko crumbs – Panko Crumbs are lite, flaky, and give very crunchy texture to fried chicken. For panko crumbs, heat a skillet, toast slices of bread only for 1 minute each side. Make sure skillet is not over heated. We don’t want to brown the bread. Just draw out the moisture. Leave aside for 5 minutes, tear bread in small pieces and then pulse 8-10 times in food processor to crumbs (not fine but flaky crumbs)

2. Plain Bread Crumbs - For plain fine crumbs, heat a skillet, toast slices of bread until brown (but not burnt) toasted on both sides. -
3. Plain Bread Crumbs - Leave aside for 5 minutes, tear bread in small pieces and then pulse 10-15 times in food processor to fine crumbs. Additional Notes:
For seasonal crumbs, mix seasoning of your choice just before using crumbs. E.g. for garlic breadcrumbs, mix in 1/2 tbsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp oregano. For Italian bread crumbs, add 1/2 tsp each of oregano, parsley, basil, garlic and 1/4 tsp salt.
