How would you make a topping for this that would be gluten free? Thanks. Nancy
I often substitute almond meal (ground almonds) for bread crumbs. Ground flaxseed is another alternative.
Do you thaw the bread first if its been frozen?
Sorry, that I’m just seeing this comment! Honestly, either way is fine.
You don’t need to store heels in the freezer. Just place in a brown paper bag in a dry place (I use the bag I get when I buy bread from a local bakery), and they dry out beautifully.
