How to Make Breadcrumbs From a Baguette (3 Steps)
The chewy interior and crisp crust of French or Italian baguettes are perfect for making breadcrumbs once they start to lose their freshness. It's also a way to put day-old, dried-out baguettes to good use rather than tossing them out. Turning this crusty bread into crunchy breadcrumbs is a relatively fast and simple process with a good food processor and a quick trip to the oven. Use the freshly made breadcrumbs for crusting chicken parmigiana, topping casseroles or as a crunchy dessert topping, depending on how you season them.
