Recipe: How to make soft bread crumbs

Hi Fuschia,

You're correct, the bread crumbs that you purchase in the round tubs off the grocery shelf are dried bread crumbs. Soft bread crumbs are made from fresh or day-old (but not hard) bread. To make the crumbs, whirl the bread slices in a blender or food processor or tear or cut the bread into very small pieces. Measure the crumbs by spooning into a measuring cup - don't pack them down. One slice of bread should equal about 3/4 cup bread crumbs. You can store extra crumbs in the freezer to use as needed (a good way to use up unused bread).

Happy Cooking!
