It's easy to make homemade bread crumbs to use in your favorite recipes. Skip the stale breadcrumbs at the store and make your own, either with fresh or old bread.

You can make bread crumbs with any sandwich or loaf bread.

The only catch is that you shouldn’t use freshly baked bread. The moisture in fresh bread won't allow it to break into crumbs.

You’ll make your bread crumbs differently depending on whether your bread is fresh and soft or hard and stale.

If your bread is soft: tear it into small chunks and place into your food processor fitted with the “S” blade. Pulse for a few seconds at a time until your crumbs are the size you want.

Spread the bread crumbs on a cookie sheet, cover with your favorite adorable tea towel and let them sit out overnight or until they’re completely dry and crunchy. 

Then they’re ready to use or store.

Now that your bread crumbs are ready, you'll need to store them in something air tight so they don't get stale.
