Breadcrumbs are an essential ingredient to meatloaves, meatballs, breaded chicken, and other great dishes. Packaged breadcrumbs are quite costly to buy and usually full of sodium and preservatives. The amazing thing is that they’re actually quite inexpensive and easy to make yourself. After all, it’s just dried bread! It’s a great use of marked down bakery items, too.
Tear bread into chunks and place in the bowl of food processor or blender. Pulse until you have the consistency you’d like. Store in the freezer in an airtight container or ziptop bag.

Jessica, I dry my bread before making crumbs out of it. I either lay it out on a cooling rack covered with a cloth, or pit it in the oven as low as it will go, or put it in the dehydrator.
I have added Italian seasoning to my bread crumbs, too.
