Homemade Bread Crumbs (Italian Instructions too)
I try to waste as little as possible in my kitchen and one way I do that is by turning stale or old bread and buns into bread crumbs. When I find that leftover package of hot dog buns at the back of my fridge, or that last end of a loaf that has gotten hard corners, or I have a homemade loaf that is a dud, I just throw it in the freezer in a plastic bag until I am ready to make breadcrumbs. The freezing helps dry them out even more and keeps them safe from molding until I need breadcrumbs in a recipe. If you make them from fresh bread, you will need to toast them in a toaster or dry them out on a baking sheet in the oven.
