Make your own Breadcrumbs

So what do you do with old bread? I'm not talking about yucky, moldy bread but those bags of bread that don't get finished, you can pitch them (wasteful) or feed the ducks (not completely wasteful) OR you can make your own breadcumbs.

tear up the bread and place on cookie sheets, for best results don't overcrowd the pans, it will dry better.

 Bake them at 275 for approx 2 hrs.

 I usually let them set out for awhile after they are bakes before i grind it to make sure its completely dried, you don't want the insides to still be soft or they will not keep.

 I use my Vita-Mix but you can use a food processor or rolling pin....or what means possible. :) 

I store mine in the freezer, you don't have to but i think they stay fresher....and fresh is good!


THINGS I USE BREADCUMBS FOR:

Chicken Parmesean
Breaded fish
stuffed mushrooms
topping baked mac & cheese
meatloaf, meatballs
.......and more


ENJOY!
