Ingredients 
 

  • 2 slices white bread

Instructions 

Method 1 (Food Processor/Blender)

  • Cut 2 slices white 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.
