bread crumbs

Sheila L. (Q&A ID 238)

how do I make and store home made bread crumbs from brioche (both fresh and stale) I want to make plain bread crumbs and herbed bread crumbs, and how long will they last in what kind of containers?

THANKS

Hi Sheila - The easiest way to make breadcrumbs is to process chunks of bread (fresh or stale) in a food processor. You can use them fresh as-is or transfer to a sheet tray and dry them in a low oven (300 degrees) or toss in oil and toast in a 350 degree oven. For storage, I would transfer to a zipper-lock bag and store in the freezer. They stay fresh in there for about 3 months. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.
