1. Cut off the edges of the bread slices (optional, you can also use the corners). For immediate use: Fry the bread on a pan until crisp and then grind it in a mixer. Another way is to collect the bread slices in a plastic wrapper and put it in the freezer for about an hour, the bread will dry out then you can pulse it.
I chose the oven toast method – preheat the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes, place the bread slices in the trays and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the bread slices turn golden brown.
2. Break the toasted bread slices into coarse pieces and grind them in a mixer as fine as possible. Coarse breadcrumbs will resemble fine rava. Store in an airtight container on the shelf for a few weeks or place in the freezer for longer shelf life. Homemade breadcrumbs are easy to make and work best for cutlets. You can make it and store it so that it can come to you anytime.
