1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake slices of bread in a single
layer (either directly on the oven racks or on a baking
pan) until bread is completely dried out, about 20
minutes. Cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the
food processor. Break toasted bread into medium-
size pieces and add to work bowl. Pulse 6 to 8 times,
then process on High until desired texture is
achieved, about 30 to 60 seconds.
Note: Breadcrumbs can also be made from day-old
bread without baking. Simply break into pieces and
follow above instruction until finely chopped.
Seasoned Breadcrumbs: Add ¼ teaspoon each kosher
salt, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder and onion
powder to work bowl with bread pieces and process as
above.
