In this day and age, we have an opportunity to live by the motto our parents and grandparents did, “Use it up, wear it out, make it due, or do without.” Making your own bread crumbs is easy and a great way to be practical while saving money.
If you’re like my family, most of them won’t eat the crusts of the loaves of bread. All you have to do is set them on a plate or in a bowl and let them dry out overnight. Or you can put them in an oven and toast them for a few minutes.
The reason why I made these breadcrumbs is 1) because I had made ribbon sandwiches and we always have a lot of leftover bread that I can’t stand to just throw away, and 2) because I was out of breadcrumbs anyway.
It’s easy to do. Just set your bread out to dry, as I mentioned above.
Then place them in your food processor or blender.
Mix them until you have fine bread crumbs.
Voila! Easy. Store in your pantry.
