You can use any white bread, wheat bread, brown bread, or even a gluten-free bread for this recipe. The amount of crumbs you end up with will depend on the size of your loaf of bread.
Begin by removing the crusts from the loaf of bread.
Crumble it into coarse crumbs using a food processor or your hands. It is important not to squish it too much; therefore, I do not recommend using a knife as it has a tendency to squish the bread as you slice through.
Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and add the breadcrumbs in a single layer.
Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This will assure that the bread dries out without browning. Bake for 7-10 minutes to dry out the crumbs, stirring after the first 5 minutes.
They can be used right away in recipes, or you can store them.
To store, let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
