No-Fuss Sourdough Breadcrumbs (Better Than Store-Bought!)
My sourdough breadcrumbs are so simple and easy to make! You only need one ingredient: sourdough bread, and it can be fresh or old. This no-fuss recipe is what I make over and over again in our home. I keep these breadcrumbs in the freezer at all times so they're ready to go when I want to make my baked fried chicken or mozzarella bites! I hope this recipe replaces store-bought breadcrumbs in your home like it has in ours.
Ingredients
- Sourdough Bread (use any amount you desire)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cut the bread you'd like to use into 1-2 inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. No parchment paper necessary.

- Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 5 minutes.
- Food Processor Option: Place dried bread into food processor and pulse until all bread turns into breadcrumbs.Blender Option: Pour into a blender and blend on high speed until all bread turns into breadcrumbs.
