How to Make Homemade Breadcrumbs

Have you ever made homemade breadcrumbs? When I was a kid, my mom always had a big tupperware bowl on top of the refrigerator with the end of the bread loaf, cut and drying for breadcrumbs. Homemade breadcrumbs are so much better than store bought because you know what is in them. You can add your own seasonings to your liking using your homemade bread that has become too hard to eat.

How to Make Homemade Breadcrumbs

Homemade breadcrumbs are way too easy to make to waste money buying at the store, as well as consuming whatever extra ingredients might be in them. We need to actively cut back on the extra ingredients and chemicals that are in store bought items so that our bodies can be healthy.
