I freeze breadcrumbs regularly, using up loaf ends, storing them in plastic ‘take-away’ type containers. (These come in several sizes and the deep ones I have hold about 8ozs each.) The original recipe suggests not using the crusts, but I always do. Two of these containers give me enough for a double batch of this spicy, [...]
