SODIUM IN PANKO BREAD CRUMBS RECIPES

Steps:

• Push chunks of white bread through the shredding disk of a food processor to make coarse crumbs.
• Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and bake at 300 F degrees until the crumbs are dry but not toasted, about 6 to 8 minutes. Shake the sheet twice during baking. Be careful not to let the crumbs brown!
• Immediately remove bread crumbs from oven and allow them to cool.
• Once cooled, crumbs may be stored in the freezer, in a resealable plastic bag for as long as several months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie tray with aluminum foil, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and Panko on low speed until blended.
• Scoop the dough onto the prepared tray (use a one ounce ice cream scoop). Press down slightly on the dough to flatten it to about 1/2 inch tall. Bake for 7 minutes, rotate the cookie sheet, and then bake 7 to 8 minutes more or until bottoms of cookies are slightly browned.
• Cool 10 minutes on baking sheet. Roll warm cookies in the powdered sugar until evenly coated. Place on a wire rack to cool completely before tossing again in the powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
