Recipe Notes

To make your own breadcrumbs, dry bread out by placing on a rack over a cookie sheet in a low to moderate oven.
When dry, cool and use a blender or food processor to make the breadcrumbs.
Short bursts keeps the crumbs larger so they are crunchier.
You can also blend wholemeal crackers.
