Buying gluten-free breadcrumbs is expensive, and quite honestly, unpalatable (at least in my experience). For this reason, I now make my own breadcrumbs at home and have never looked back! This recipe uses the “heels” (or end pieces) of any loaf of gluten-free bread. These breadcrumbs are very easy to make, and it helps use up the end pieces of the bread that no one wants to eat anyway! No waste. I love it!!
Homemade Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
Ingredients
- Heels or end pieces of your favorite gluten-free bread
Instructions
- Save the "heels" (or "end pieces") from your gluten-free bread to make your own breadcrumbs, and store in your freezer in a freezer-safe container/zip bag until you have enough bread to make your breadcrumbs.
- When ready to make breadcrumbs, defrost bread heels and cut into cubes. Place on a baking sheet and toast in 300 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes or until lightly toasted.
- Allow to bread cubes to cool and dry out completely on the baking sheet.
- Transfer to a food processor and whizz to the desired breadcrumb consistency. Store in your freezer.
