Description
Two ways to make light and crispy Japanese panko breadcrumbs. Makes 100g panko (approx 1 cup) or enough for about 4 portions.
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 thick slices of white bread (approx 50-70g per piece)
Instructions
Method 1 (Food Processor/Blender)
- Cut the bread into rough cubes.
- Place the cubes in the food processor / blender and blitz for a few seconds. (Don't blitz for too long or the panko will be too fine.)
Method 2 (freeze and grate)
- Cut the bread slices into 3-4 pieces and place them on a tray.
- Place the tray in the freezer for 2-3 hours or until the bread is completely frozen.
- Take one piece of bread from the freezer and grate using a grater with large holes.
- Repeat until all of the bread is grated into panko breadcrumbs.
Notes
Place leftover panko breadcrumbs in an airtight container for up to 1 month and defrost at room temperature before use.
