No-Fuss Sourdough Breadcrumbs (Better Than Store-Bought!)
My sourdough breadcrumbs are so simple and easy to make! You only need one ingredient: sourdough bread, and it can be fresh or old. This no-fuss recipe is what I make over and over again in our home. I keep these breadcrumbs in the freezer at all times so they're ready to go when I want to make my baked fried chicken or mozzarella bites! I hope this recipe replaces store-bought breadcrumbs in your home like it has in ours.
