Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • wire racks as necessary
  • cookie sheet pans

Ingredients
  

  • several slices of homemade bread

Instructions
 

  • Option 1:
  • set homemade bread without preservatives on wire racks to stale.
  • This will take several hours and you will need to turn the bread a few times as the bread hardens to make sure the air hardens each side.
  • Option 2:
  • place homemade bread on cookie sheets or glass pans in low 200° oven for 2-3 hours until bread hardens but does not scorch.
  • Remove bread from oven or wire racks.
  • Process in food processor until bread becomes coarse crumbs.
  • I used 5 really thick slices of a whole wheat/ten grain bread and that yielded about 2 cups of bread crumbs.
  • The yield is going to depend on how much bread you use.
  • Store bread crumbs in refrigerator or freezer.
