I used leftover sourdough bread in this recipe to create homemade sourdough breadcrumbs, but you can use whatever kind of bread you like! I also prefer to season my breadcrumbs, but that step is optional. For increased versatility, homemade breadcrumbs can be plain or seasoned to add to your favorite recipes (meatloaf, breaded chicken, and more!)
All natural. No preservatives or other added yucky stuff. Just good ol’ fashioned bread.

How to Make Sourdough Breadcrumbs
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Begin cubing fresh (or stale!) bread. I typically go for around 1 inch cubes, but it doesn’t have to be precise. They are going to get blended up here in a bit anyways 🙂
- Add cubed bread to a food processor or high powered blender. Blend until the bread resembles coarse crumbs. You can blend the bread to be as fine as you like- use your personal judgement here.
- Pour breadcrumbs onto a prepared baking sheet, making sure to spread them out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly toasted and golden brown.
- Remove the breadcrumbs from the oven and allow to cool. Add to a small mixing bowl and add seasonings, stirring well.
- Store the seasoned breadcrumbs in an airtight container (I love my Weck storage jars) for up to 3 months.
