Learning how to make homemade breadcrumbs is ridiculously easy and a great reminder that fresh == flavor. The process requires only old bread and a little forethought. The resulting crumbs have texture, crunch, and a fresh flavor you'll never get out of store-bought variations. Homemade breadrumbs can be easily adapted to fit your needs and preferences, from the type of bread you use to the addition of whatever spices, salts, or dried herbs you like best. Avoid using bread with dried fruits or nuts, as the moisture retained by the fruit may result in soft or moldy crumbs when you store them. If it???s a type of bread with small seeds (poppy, sesame, etc.) or grains on the crust feel free to use it as these will lend intriguing flavor to your crumbs.
