I learned from my Spanish in-laws, and when we buy baguette-type bread and can't finish it before it gets hard, I just leave it in the bread basket for a week or so until it gets really hard (harder breads like that don't get yucky moldy like softer ones), and then use my cheese grater with some "elbow grease" to make the crumbs. It takes longer, but it's good arm exercise and doesn't require an electric machine if you happen to not have a blender/food processor! I would think kids and hubbies would be good at it too :) I’ve never used normal bread, although it sounds like a good idea.

I don't stick the bread in the oven though. I just lay them on the counter then I use my food processor. I also save the the bigger chuncks for stuffing. I do this all the time.

We never eat the heels, but I've wanted to put them to good use rather than just throw them away. Do the heels of bread make good breadcrumbs?
