I gather up all the bread ends that family wont eat and the end of the week, throw them in oven at 250 for 30 mins, turn and give them another 30 mins with a shot at 400 for 5 mins to slightly brown, cool - throw them in food processor with some Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper. Couple seconds in the processor - put them in freezer bag - have bread crumbs better than store bought in constant supply ..

Thanks so much for this! I just bought my very last container of quickie storebought breadcrumbs. Ugh.

You can also tear the bread into small chunks and air dry them in a pie pan in the cupboard. Once dried out, they are very easy to turn into bread crumbs.

Lama - I love homemade croutons. I forget to make them, so this was a good reminder. They are super yummy in a Caesar salad!

if you think breadcrumbs are good, you should try homemade croutons. i am always making these according to what kind of bread/cornbread/bagel etc. i have leftover and what kind of meal i am wanting to accent. chop and spread on a cookiesheet, sprinkle on olive oil and lots of herbs and s&p, can even add honey, basalmic etc. again, i usually make these with yesterday’s leftovers to enhance today’s meal. they’re great in salad of course, but awesome in soup and even good on pasta.

bake on high heat and stir occaisionally

I just used my Bread Crumbs last night in a Meatloaf recipe. Here is the link, it was really good meatloaf.
