Breadcrumbs

Place your stale bread in a food processor and blend until you have fine breadcrumbs. Use as is fresh or dry them out. To Dry Breadcrumbs: Preheat your oven to 250°F (125°C). Places the crumbs on a baking tray and bake for roughly 15 minutes or until dry and crisp stirring every few minutes.
Store the fresh breadcrumbs in the fridge for up to 1 week. Store the dried breadcrumbs in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the cupboard. Also, you can freeze them for up to 4 months.

I made a batch of hamburger buns that just came out wrong - not enough liquid in the dough - so I baked them anyway and kept them, dried them out under a netting contraption I have in the kitchen for a few days to go stale and hard. I then bashed them into smaller pieces with pestle and mortar and then chucked the pieces into my food processor. I didn't even have to dry them in the oven - they were bone dry. Some of them are in a zip-lock baggie in my 'fridge and the rest in an airtight container in the freezer. Voila! Thank you for all your wonderful tips and tricks. The icing/powdered sugar trick has come in handy more than once too. I live in a hot and dry climate, by the way.
