How to make breadcrumbs with a food processor
If using fresh bread, make sure to dry out a few slices by lining them up on a baking sheet and placing them into a 300 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. You can also use bread that’s a day or two old since it’s already dry. Break up slices of bread so they fit into your food processor and pulse until you have crumbs that resemble grains of rice. Add your favorite dried herbs to give them a bit of extra flavor.
