Tips & Warnings
Only use fresh bread to make your crumbs. Using stale bread for your breadcrumbs will result in stale-tasting breadcrumbs.
Generally, any type of bread will make tasty crumbs. Good varieties include rye, French, sourdough, onion and whole wheat.
If you choose to make the breadcrumbs smaller, allow them to completely cool, then grind them in a blender or food processor.
