This is a fairly simple idea. Buy a multitude of different day-old bakery breads, dry them out in the oven and store until needed. The store-bought stuff can’t touch crumbs from sourdoughs, pumpernickle, rye and others. It also has far less salt. I like to toast them in an oven at 325 degrees. I’ll let the oven come to heat then turn it off with the bread slices inside. Then check them that night. Usually they are dried and ready to be ground in the blender.

Good idea. Homemade breadcrumbs always taste so much better and fresher than store bought. And they are cheap to make.

Love your recipes! Can’t wait to try the brussel sprouts and the brownies!!!!
