Ingredients
8slicesSilver Hills Bakery Sprouted Power® bread(we used Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery The Queen’s Khorasan®-Ancient Grain bread for our photo)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°F. Spread sprouted whole grain bread slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Dehydrate in the oven until completely crisp, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, flipping slices every 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Grind in food processor until desired breadcrumb texture is reached (somewhere between coarse and fine sand).
If not using the whole batch immediately, store unused portions in a sealed container:
In the pantry: up to 2 weeks
In the fridge: up to a month
In the freezer: up to 3 months
Tips
- Short on time? Only need a small amount? No problem! Toast bread on the light setting in your toaster until slices are crispy and dry. (You might need to run them through more than once. Don't be tempted to crank it to high unless you're after toast-flavoured crumbs!). Process as directed above.- Trying to eat healthy on a budget? Use the perfectly-paired slices in your loaf for sandwiches and save lonely leftover slices and bread heels for your next batch of breadcrumbs! Store single slices and heels in the freezer until you need them next, so no crumb goes to waste! (Yes, you can refreeze the crumbs you make from frozen bread!)
