MYO: Breadcrumbs
Make Your Own:
These are post about how to make your own of something you might just normally buy at the store.
I usually will make my own breadcrumbs. I just save any heels of the bread we don’t eat and freeze them. When I need some breadcrumbs I take out a few heels and toast them while still frozen. You could just let them thaw but sometimes I don’t remember to get them out early enough.
Then I tear them up into smaller pieces and put them into my food processor.
Then process them until they are fine in texture, Like this:
That is all there is to making breadcrumbs at home. I am not sure how much they cost at the store but for the cost of a few slices of bread you can have a cup or two of breadcrumbs.
Enjoy!
Thank you for this super easy way to make breadcrumbs! I’ve yet to do this myself, but from now on I’m going to start freezing the bread we have that’s about to expire so that I can do this. 🙂
how do you store your bread crumbs after you make them? how long will they last
Tamaran, I store them in the refrigerator in a zipper bag or if I need to extend their shelf life I will freeze the breadcrumbs in a freezer bag. I’ve had them stay good in the refrigerator a month or more. If I want to store them beyond a month I put them into the freezer. I hope that helps.
