Gluten-free bread crumbs are very easy to make, so don't worry about searching for them in stores or paying premium prices. Here's what you need to do... and by the way, this is a great way to use stale gluten-free bread.
If you don't have bread on hand: gluten-free corn flakes or nacho chips -- or any gluten-free crackers you have in the house -- can make great bread-crumb substitutes. Either crush them in a plastic bag (for coarse crumbs) or grind them in a food processor or blender (for finer crumbs).
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: About 4 Hours
Here's How:
- Crumble as many gluten-free bread slices as necessary –- about 3 slices per cup of fresh bread crumbs –- onto a cookie sheet.
- Toast the crumbs in a 200 F oven for about an hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so.
- Let stand in the oven until cool or overnight.
- If you want very fine crumbs, process them in your food processor or blender.
- Store leftover crumbs in the freezer.
