2 cups
Use gluten-free bread to make these easy gluten-free breadcrumbs! Make delicious meatballs, breaded chicken, and more with this three-ingredient recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 cups gluten-free bread cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Add the cubed gluten-free bread into a food processor. Process on high speed for 30 seconds for coarse bread crumbs, or 1 minute for fine bread crumbs.
- Pour the breadcrumbs onto the prepared baking sheet, then drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine, then spread the breadcrumbs into an even layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted.
- Let cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container to store.
Notes
RECIPE NOTES
- I prefer using a gluten-free white bread that doesn't have a lot of seeds or grain pieces for best results. I recommend Schar Artisan White Bread or Canyon Bakehouse Country White Bread!
- For Italian bread crumbs: Combine the cooled breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon onion powder.
- For gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs: Use coarsely blended gluten-free white bread if you want the taste and texture of Panko breadcrumbs. Avoid using the ends of the loaf and cut off the crusts for a light, airy crumb.
