Everything about Bread Crumbs totally explained
Breadcrumbs or
bread crumbs (regional variants: breading, crispies) are small particles of dry
bread, which are used for
breading or crumbing foods, topping
casseroles,
stuffing poultry,
thickening stews, and adding inexpensive bulk to
meatloaves and similar foods.
However the
crumb of bread also refers to the inner soft part, as distinguished from the crust.
Dry breadcrumbs are made from very dry bread, either several days old or often baked or toasted to remove all remaining moisture, and may have a sandy or even powdery texture. They can be used to make a crisp and crunchy coating for fried foods (see
breading). The bread used to make soft or fresh bread crumbs isn't quite as dry, so the crumbs are larger and produce a softer coating, crust, or
stuffing. Bread crumbs are most easily produced by pulverizing slices of bread in a
food processor, using a steel blade to make coarse crumbs, or a grating blade to make fine crumbs. A
cheese grater or similar tool will also do.
Italian breadcrumbs are often larger than generic processed bread crumbs due to the chemical makeup of Italian breads.
Breadcrumb may also refer to
Velaanja .
