Quick Food Tip: DIY Breadcrumbs

Don’t ever throw that stale bread out! Making your own breadcrumbs is so easy and I bet you already have the ingredient on hand (bread!).

There’s a variety of ways to make your crumbs:

  • Throw a piece of stale/toasted bread or two in a food processor
  • Rip a few pieces of stale/toasted bread in half and chop with a manual food chopper
  • Put a few pieces of stale/toasted bread in a sandwich bag and roll over it with a rolling pin

You can also make breadcrumbs out of crackers, nuts, or cornflakes.

Just store your breadcrumbs in a container in the cupboard for two weeks or the freezer for months.
