Notes
- This recipe makes 1.5 cups of bread crumbs. Store them in an airtight container (a mason jar or a plastic zip-top baggie) in the pantry or another place that's dark and cool. They will last for a good long while since the bread has been totally dried out.
- If you want to make whole wheat bread crumbs, simply use whole wheat bread in place of the bread you see in this post. It works the same!
