DIRECTIONS

1.

Save leftover whole grain bread slices, rolls, etc. Cut the bread pieces into halves or quarters to speed the toasting in the oven.

2.

Place the bread in a single layer on a sheet pan.

Toast the bread in a low temperature oven (200 degrees F) until slightly golden brown and firm. Cool the bread before preparing crumbs.

3.

Break the bread into pieces and place it in a food processor or appropriate grinder. Process the bread until the desired crumb size is obtained.

4.

Store the crumbs in an air-tight container (bulk form) in the freezer until needed.

Use the crumbs as desired in recipes. This recipe makes 14 oz. eq. whole grains.
