I used to buy at BIG container of bread crumbs until I started reading food labels.
Suddenly I realized that I could make my own bread crumbs with all the ends of our homemade bread!
When we get to the end of bread I stick the remains in a freezer bag in the freezer. When the bag is full I thaw the bread, and toast it in the oven @ 400 degrees.
Once toasted, I place it in the food processor and process until light and fluffy.
It is great for meatballs, meatloaf, chicken--anything that calls for breadcrumbs!
It works like a charm and does not have any preservatives. I love that it cuts down on food waste too :)
If I can't use all the bread crumbs at once I throw them in a freezer bag until I need them.

Reading food labels is really eye opening and scary. Thanks for your easy homemade bread crumb instructions. It's a great use for stale bread!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! We throw the end pieces and sometimes crusts away but I'll save them from now on for breadcrumbs because I use them quite often. Thanks!
