    These Homemade Gluten Free Bread Crumbs add a crispy crunchy texture to anything you add them to. They can be used in fried or baked dishes.

    It's a great way to use up leftover bread. I made these DIY bread crumbs with my latest favorite bread, sourdough bread. You can use whatever your favorite is.

    Making your own breadcrumbs is simple and easy. You can add a seasoning blend, like Italian seasoning for Italian breadcrumbs, or add a cheesy flavor with nutritional yeast.

    Use these easy gluten-free breadcrumbs to add a crispy coating on Vegan Stick Sticks or Vegan Tofu Nuggets.

    🔪 Instructions

    Chopped bread crumbs in food processor and fine crumbs on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 1: Slice bread into cubes. Place bread cubes into a food processor. Pulse to the desired consistency.

    Step 2: Spread bread crumbs in an even layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip. Bake another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and dry to the touch.

    🥡 Storage

    Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, these bread crumbs will last up to a week in the pantry. You can also store them for a week in the fridge, and for several months in the freezer.

    Since they are homemade they don't last as long as store-bought. The type of bread you use could make a difference as well.

    You may find a bread that lasts longer than the one I used. After a couple of weeks, the bread crumbs were starting to taste a little stale.

    ❄️ Can I Use Frozen Bread?

    The bread I buy comes frozen, so that's what I use. Make sure to completely thaw the bread in the fridge before making this recipe.

    💭 Tips

    • The type of bread you use will affect results. I used vegan gluten-free sourdough bread. After baking it halfway through, it tended to stick to itself. It's difficult to find good vegan gluten-free bread, and this is my favorite so far.
    • Cut off the crusts for a uniform color, if desired.
    • Process the bread crumbs again in a food processor after baking to get a finer consistency.
    • To make bread crumbs without a food processor, place cubed bread into a plastic bag and roll a rolling pin over the bag to crush them into a fine consistency.
