Heavy bottom pan
Ingredients
6-7bread slices
or use brown bread slices
Instructions
Cut and remove the sides(brown part) of the bread.
Now cut the bread in 4 parts. Similarly, prepare all the bread pieces.
Grind it in a mixer/food processor. Grind it a bit coarse but if the recipe calls for adding fine breadcrumbs then grind it fine.
For making bread crumbs in the microwave:
Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius.
Bake at 180 degree Celsius for about 10 minutes.
Take out the baking pan, you will see that the top of the breadcrumbs has changed its color but the breadcrumbs at the bottom are still soft. Stir it well.
Again bake it for 5-7 minutes till the breadcrumbs are completely dry and grainy. Be careful the timings may vary.
Take the baking pan out and let it cool down completely. Store it in an airtight container and keep it in the freezer.
For making the bread crumbs on stove top:
Heat a pan and add the powdered bread crumbs.
Keep the flame on medium and dry roast it.
Once you feel the breadcrumbs at the base of the pan started to become crisp, then lower the flame.
Now continue to roast it till it becomes completely dry and grainy in texture.
Switch off the flame. Let the breadcrumbs cool down completely.
Store it in an airtight container and keep it in the freezer.

Notes
Do not use fresh bread to make bread crumbs. The bread should be 2-3 days old.
