Recipe Notes

To achieve 1 loaf of stale bread, place scraps of bread in a storage bag in the freezer until 1 loaf of bread is achieved. Defrost, cut and process following the directions above.
Some breads will process into crumbs very quickly. Others, like homemade sourdough, may take a up to 10 minutes to fully process. Also, very fine breadcrumbs will take approximately an additional 5 mins more to achieve.
Store bought breads may only take 10 mins to fully dry out and become crispy. Since homemade sourdough is a more moist bread, it can take up to 25 mins to fully dry out.
