As a crisp topping for pasta or steamed vegetables ([Garlic Baguette Crumbs](/recipes/recipe_views/views/109141)) or as a crucial ingredient (in the [Apple Prune Brown Betty](/recipes/recipe_views/views/109129)), these are worlds apart from store-bought bread crumbs. Active time: 10 min Start to finish: 1 1/4 hr (includes cooling)

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 (12-inch) piece day-old baguette, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (6 cups)
