Wonderful recipe! I used leftover sourdough bread and sprinkled some Italian herb with parmesean cheese seasoning into the crumbs before I baked them. I used the panko crumbs to coat my chicken tenders and the chicken was wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was a big hit at our party! This recipe works out so well! Thank you for sharing.

For edification (though, if you're looking to make regular bread crumbs..., the "recipe" here is valid, but you also probably don't understand the word, edification... "for you to learn") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY6nEKohFaM - Panko bread loaves are "electrocuted" not baked... https://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/iron-chef-alton-on-panko-0144900 Alton Brown explains it correctly. Again, though, if you're looking for "How to" make regular bread crumbs, this web page is valid, but... shame on your Mother, not just for not showing you how, but also for raising a generation who would need to ask. I am not criticizing (except maybe those "didn't know how to make bread crumbs, in general), but I am impressed that you got advertising dollars, and so many page views. These aren't panko. Panko is a process; one person answered someone below, "yet here (I, and you) are"..., yeah, cuz we were interested to see how someone could do electrolysis at home. Another poster said the "googled"; I first looked up the definition and only then came here thinking it would be an explanation of "how to" do the electrolysis process at home. Chops to genius kitchen. They are genius'; at ad revenue! Please rename title to "How to make White bread into bread crumbs".

For clarification. Bread crumbs are made from bread that has been dried for a few days or a in a 200° oven for about 15 mins. than crushed with a rolling pin between wax paper or in a freezer bag (old fashion way) or a food processor or blender. It can be corse or very fine. Panko is day old not dried bread shredded with a food processor than dried in the oven. The Panko should be lighter and airier. If the recipe wanted you to used bread crumbs it wouldn't say brad crumbs not Panko crumbs. Make them both ways and you'll see the difference. But that's my opinion.

I am a 71 year old man who survived Lung Cancer in 2001. My wife of 46 years passed away in Jan of 2006. She lost her long battle with metastatized breast Cancer, since 2004 and had other non cancer related problems. I have been walking around the Burlington Mall to strengthen my lungs. I have also started trying to eat healthier and have lost some weight. I have been cooking, off and on, since I could see the stove top. Nothing fancy normally, just plain food.
