First we want to make sure to remove any moisture from the bread by toasting the bread on cookie sheets in the oven.

@ Maxine - I'm not sure. I usually keep mine in a Ziploc bag in the freezer. That way I know they will last longer. Since they do come from bread, they can get stale. Store-bought ones that you keep in the pantry usually have preservatives I think.

Great guide! How long do these keep in the pantry if I put them in an old Pringles container? :P

So glad you enjoyed the guide, Taylor. I make breadcrumbs and then keep the zip lock bag in the freezer for when I need to use them. So glad you're enjoying all my guides too!

Thanks for making this guide. :) I tried making breadcrumbs before I saw this and failed miserably so this will help me out a ton to make some fabulous dishes. Your other guides are wonderful too!
