How to make Bread Crumbs

Ingredients

Bread slices: 10

Method Of Preparation

Cut the bread into small pieces and put in the blender and blend it.

Add the powder the oven proof bowl. Place the bowl in the oven and put the microwave to the highest temperature to 8 minutes. Open the oven in each 2 minutes and give a stir with the spoon so that it will get heated up evenly. In the first few minutes you will feel it turning to dough don’t worry after it is roasted well you will get fine and perfect bread crumbs. During the last minutes, just keep an eye on it so that it won’t get burnt. The oven temperature may vary. When cooled store in an air tight container.

OR

You can first roast the bread in the oven and powder it too.

But what I felt is that the first method goes perfectly to get the bread crumbs without making it to a fine powder.
