If preferred you can flavor the bread crumbs with dried parsley or any spice powder or garlic powder. Alternatively you can make breadcrumbs with flavored bread, if you need flavored bread crumbs.

Tawa Method – If you do not have an oven, you can toast the bread both sides (without any oil or ghee or butter) until crisp. Blend it coarsely once it cools.

Sun Drying Method – My mother used to dry the bread slices in the sun well for 2 or 3 days until all the moisture is completely dried out. Then powder it coarsely in a blender or mixer.

Storage and Shelf Life


Store it in an air tight container or ziplock bag in the freezer.

It stays good for 3-4 months in the freezer.

How to make Fresh Breadcrumbs

If a recipe calls for fresh breadcrumbs, do not use this dry breadcrumbs. Fresh breadcrumbs can be made easily at home.

Cut the corners of the bread (white or brown) place it in a ziplock or freezer bag and keep it inside the freezer. Once frozen, break it and blend it to powder or grate it using a grater.

Storage for fresh breadcrumbs – Store it in a ziploc bag or air tight container in the freezer. Use it within 2-3 days.
