Light-and-Crisp Whole-Wheat Bread Crumbs image

Homemade bread crumbs are one of those "chef’s secrets"-an important but often overlooked detail that can make a dish. These easy-to-make crumbs are flaky, mild, and versatile-they don’t have that heavy whole-wheat taste and dense texture that most store-bought brands have. Since bread crumbs are a comfort-food cornerstone used in everything from cutlet coatings to casserole toppings, it’s key to have the best.
