Ingredients

  • 4-6 slices of leftover bread stale or toasted (and cooled)

Instructions

  • Tear up the bread into smaller pieces and put in the food processor.
  • Process until the bread is all broken into little bitty pieces-otherwise known as breadcrumbs. You can choose the texture you prefer for your recipe (larger or smaller crumbs).
  • Use the bread crumbs right away or store them for later. Store in an air-tight bag or container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Store in a freezer bag in the freezer for 3 months.

Notes

  • I prefer to use a 100% whole grain loaf, since it has more fiber and nutrients.
  • Tear stale bread into little pieces and place them in a gallon-sized freezer bag in the freezer. Then, use them for bread crumbs next time you’re ready to make some.
