Making Use of Dried Bread

If you have dried out bread or the ends of loaves, let them dry out and crush in food processor or blender to make bread crumbs. You can add seasonings to them to make seasoned bread crumbs instead of buying them. Or before letting the the bread dry out, cut into small squares, brush with oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt or other seasonings. Bake at 200 degrees until they are dried out and you have homemade croutons.

You can bag the bread crumbs and croutons and keep in the freezer so they last longer.
