  • Trim the crusts: While you don't have to trim the crusts off the bread before making breadcrumbs, doing so will give you a more uniform crumb size. If you're using a food processor, you can skip this step.
  • Dry the bread: Drying the bread before making breadcrumbs will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy. You can dry the bread by spreading it out on a baking sheet and baking it at a low temperature in the oven.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread before making breadcrumbs will give them a more flavorful and crunchy texture. You can toast the bread in the oven or in a toaster.
  • Use a food processor or blender: The easiest way to make breadcrumbs is to use a food processor or blender. Simply add the bread cubes to the food processor or blender and pulse until they reach the desired consistency.
  • Season the breadcrumbs: You can season the breadcrumbs with a variety of herbs, spices, and other ingredients. This is a great way to add extra flavor to your breadcrumbs.
  • Store the breadcrumbs: You can store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze the breadcrumbs for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Breadcrumbs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be used as a topping for casseroles and other baked dishes, or they can be used as a binder in meatballs, meatloaf, and other savory dishes.
