Bread Crumbs

2 cups stale bread

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.

Arrange bread in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes to crisp. Cool. Break into small pieces and feed, slowly, into a blender or a food processor.

Store crumbs in an airtight container. They will keep for several weeks on the shelf and indefinitely in the freezer.
