This recipe guides you through making homemade bread crumbs (paneermeel) using stale or fresh bread. By roasting bread cubes with olive oil, sea salt, and dried herbs, then blending them to your preferred texture, you create flavorful bread crumbs perfect for crunchy coatings or salad toppings.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 400 grams old bread (preferably stale, but fresh can also be used)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) to prepare for roasting the bread cubes.
  2. Prepare Bread Cubes: Cut the bread into large cubes and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  3. Season Bread: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the bread cubes, sprinkle with dried herbs and a pinch of sea salt, then toss everything together to coat the bread pieces evenly.
  4. Roast the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the oven for 10 to 20 minutes or until the bread cubes turn golden brown and become crispy. Stir the bread halfway through the roasting time to ensure even browning.
  5. Cool the Bread: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the toasted bread cubes to cool completely to prevent moisture build-up during blending.
  6. Blend into Bread Crumbs: Transfer the cooled bread cubes into a food processor and pulse until you achieve your preferred crumb size—either coarse or fine.

Notes

  • You can dry the bread crumbs further by spreading them on a baking sheet and roasting again, but this step is usually not necessary.
  • For layered coatings like schnitzels, use finer crumbs for the first coat and coarser crumbs for the second to achieve an extra crunchy texture.
  • Alternatively, use the toasted bread cubes whole as croutons for salads or pasta dishes.
  • Keep a close watch while roasting, as the bread can quickly burn towards the end.
  • If you have more time, roast the bread at a lower temperature (125°C) for 1 to 1.5 hours to dry it out more than just roast it.
