Bread Crumbs make super crispy toppings when baked in the oven and are good for binding homemade burgers. They are also great for schnitzel. It’s a good idea to always have a supply handy, so I turn all unwanted bread ends/crusts into bread crumbs and freeze until required.
It’s so easy – just put the bread ends/crusts into your food processor and whiz for a minute of two – instant bread crumbs! Freeze until required. I have kept bread crumbs in the freezer for a couple of months.

Hi Jan,
Making and working with breadcrumbs sounds so easy. I’ve heard that it’s best to use bread that’s 1-2 days old. Is that true?

Hi David, I’ve also heard this, but I don’t do it. I keep bread in the freezer (unless I know it will all be eaten the day I buy it). So the bread crumbs I make are from frozen bread – thawed of course. I then put them straight back in the freezer, until required. If you keep your bread for a day or two, I’m sure it would make great bread crumbs – then freeze until required.
