We dry the bread by leaving it open and exposed. Once dried, it will
keep a long time in a can or plastic container and won't mold.

Breadcrumbs can be used in many different ways so we don't add anything
until ready to use.

I do the same. We used to toss old break into a basket so the air could
get at it, rather than leaving it in a bag where it would eventually get
moldy. When I had enough good hard bread I would get out the FP and
whizz it down to a powder, put it into a jar or a plastic container and
I could keep it for months.

I'm in the plain crumbs camp myself, but what on earth do you use them
for? I put them on mac & cheese and green bean casserole. After
that, I've got nothing.

They can be used for oven-fried and baked chicken or fish and also
included in chicken patties for grilling. Indian Shami Kebabs sometimes
use them as part of the ground lamb or beef mix.

I use dried bread crumbs in the coating for the following:
oven fried zucchini or eggplant
turkey cutlets picata
pork schnitzle
sautéed calamari
fried catfish

Also, bread crumbs fried in olive oil, butter, and a dash of powdered
garlic is a great topping for fresh asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower
after those vegetables have been slightly cooked (hot and tender but
still crispy) in a microwave.

Once in a while I like breaded pork chops. If we do that, we add
seasoning to the crumbs. Less frequently, breaded chicken breasts.

For green beans, put butter in a small pan, add some crumbs and toast
golden brown and put that over top of the beans.

Making stuffings; making breadsauce, coating baked or fried chicken or
fish or fishcakes, in toppings for fruit bakes, in gratin for savoury
bakes, essential ingredient in Graham's pork tourtiere.

like it with roast chicken too.

Thanks Ed, will ensure I dry the bread first.
