Best Panko Substitute
An equally crispy panko substitute can save the day. If you love crunchy coatings for your fried dishes, chances are that panko crumbs have become a staple in your kitchen. To make homemade panko bread crumbs, you’ll need a few slices of bread, preferably a day or two old.
Ingredients
- 4 slices white bread
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- Take the slices of bread and carefully remove the crusts.
- Cut the bread into small pieces.
- Place the bread cubes or pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the bread is completely dried.
- Once the bread is dry and crispy, please remove it from the oven.
- Let it cool completely.
- Transfer the dried bread to a food processor or blender.
- Pulse the bread several times until you achieve the desired texture.
Notes
- Always start with a low oven temperature to ensure the bread crumbs dry out evenly without browning.
- If you want, you can leave the crusts on for a more rustic texture.
- Arrange the bread in the baking tray properly. Make sure to avoid crowding the slices to allow for proper airflow.
- During toasting, keep a close eye on the bread to prevent browning or burning.
- Refrain from grinding your crumbs too fine. Remember, you want them coarse and flaky.
