When Grandma needed bread crumbs, she made them by hand grating day-old bread. Instead of using a sharp grater, try this easy method. Remove crusts from day-old bread slices and tear slices into pieces. Put pieces in a food processor or blender and process them using an on/off pulsing action until you have fine crumbs.
