I recently saw bread crumbs on the grocery store shelf. It had never occurred to me that bread crumbs were an ingredient to purchase. I thought everyone made their own like I do.
Name brand Progresso were on sale for $2.04
marked down from $2.29
the store brand were on sale for $1.59.
When I need bread crumbs I collect stale bread, dry it out in a warm oven (or even let it air dry)
I fit my food processor with the shredding blade.
Chop the bread to fit in the feeder shoot.
Run the food processor, and Wa, La! bread crumbs.
I store them in mason jars. If I want flavored bread crumbs, I just add some herbs.
I can think of several advantages.
1. less packaging
2. less expense
3. less food waste
Do you make your own bread crumbs?
