Don’t throw out your good bread! Once a loaf starts to go stale, slice it thinly and freeze, ideally in a reusable freezer bag with the air pressed out. When you’re ready for delicious breadcrumbs, break up pieces and use a food processor to blitz them into large crumbs. This recipe can be easily scaled depending on how much bread you have to use up. According to chef and cookbook author Mei Li, “the idea is that your stale bread becomes this delicious thing that makes basically every other recipe tastier!”
