How to Make Uncle Bill's Homemade Panko Style Bread Crumbs

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Cut 4 cups of day-old bread (crusts removed) into 1-inch pieces. Pieces should be small enough to fit through your food processor's feed tube.
  3. Using a food processor fitted with a shredding disc, pulse the bread until you achieve coarse crumbs. Avoid over-processing to prevent the crumbs from becoming too fine.
  4. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning.
  6. Gently toss the crumbs to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  7. Spread the seasoned crumbs in a thin, even layer on two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the crumbs are completely dry but not browned. They should remain an off-white color.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the bread crumbs inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Then, leave them in the oven to dry for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once cool, store your homemade panko in an airtight container or freezer bag. They'll last for several months!
  12. Remember to label and date your container for easy identification.
