Hungry yet?
Start by taking a few slices of bread and remove the crusts; cut them into cubes and place them into a food processor.
Seal the processor and blitz until fine crumbs form.
To store your fresh breadcrumbs, place them in a takeaway container or resealable plastic bag; you can keep them in the freezer until they’re needed.
