Ingredients
4 cups gluten-free bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Add the cubed gluten-free bread into a food processor. Process on high speed for 30 seconds for coarse bread crumbs, or 1 minute for fine bread crumbs.
3. Pour the breadcrumbs onto the prepared baking sheet, then drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine, then spread the breadcrumbs into an even layer.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and toasted.
5. Let cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container to store.
Notes
Recipe Notes
I prefer using a gluten-free white bread that doesn’t have a lot of seeds or grain pieces for best results. I recommend Schar Artisan White Bread or Canyon Bakehouse Country White Bread!
For Italian bread crumbs: Combine the cooled breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon onion powder.
For gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs: Use coarsely blended gluten-free white bread if you want the taste and texture of Panko breadcrumbs. Avoid using the ends of the loaf and cut off the crusts for a light, airy crumb.
