Tips

Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs, trim crusts from whole-wheat bread.

Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.

One slice of bread makes about 1/2 cup fresh crumbs.

We like Ian’s brand labeled Panko breadcrumbs.

Find them in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets.
