Hi Sheila - The easiest way to make breadcrumbs is to process chunks of bread (fresh or stale) in a food processor. You can use them fresh as-is or transfer to a sheet tray and dry them in a low oven (300 degrees) or toss in oil and toast in a 350 degree oven. For storage, I would transfer to a zipper-lock bag and store in the freezer. They stay fresh in there for about 3 months. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.
