About Breadcrumbs (Dry)
Spoon crumbs into a dry cup and level without pressing. Home-ground bread must be at the dry stage requested by the recipe before measuring; fresh bread still contains moisture that changes both weight and absorption.
Fine crumbs can bind a mixture or form a coating, but these uses need different textures. For a topping, follow the recipe's fat addition; for a binder, allow any specified soaking time before judging the mixture as too wet.
Tips for measuring Breadcrumbs (Dry)
- Check whether crumbs are plain or seasoned.
