Add the stale white bread into the food processor, breaking it into chunks as needed.

Blend the bread in the food processor until it's really fine.

If using different types of bread, ensure it suits the recipe you're making.

If you want all white bread crumbs, cut off the crusts; otherwise, leave them on.

For fresh bread crumbs, store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for around 4 weeks.

To make dry bread crumbs, preheat the oven to 250°F (125°C).

Spread the blended bread crumbs on a baking sheet and bake for roughly 15 minutes until they dry out a little bit.

Store dry bread crumbs in the cupboard for a few days or freeze them.
