Last week, I filled out a survey at Boudin Bakery and they sent me home with a free loaf of fresh sourdough bread! (So random, I know!) I happily ate my way through about half of the loaf until it turned stale, so I decided to turn the rest into homemade crumbs. I’ll admit, it was the first time and I made fresh bread crumbs – but certainly not the last! It is so easy and just takes three quick steps:
1. Slice the bread into 1/2″ strips and then into 1/2″ cubes. You may want to remove the crust if it is really stale and hard.
2. Chop the bread cubes in a food processor for 1-2 minutes until the crumbs are the size of small pebbles.
3. Toast them on a dry skillet for a few minutes until the crumbs are golden brown.
Use them within a few days or freeze them.
