The easiest way is to blend or crush dried bread in a food processor or by hand until fine crumbs form.
Breadcrumbs are used in dishes like meatballs, casseroles, breaded chicken, pasta bakes, and as toppings for baked dishes.
You can air-dry bread slices or toast them on a stovetop, then crush or blend into crumbs without using an oven.
Substitutes include crushed crackers, oats, cornflakes, almond flour, or ground nuts depending on the recipe.
