How small? For croutons and stuffing I use slightly stale bread, stack
up three or four slices and cut them into cubes with a big knife. For
bread crumbs I use my food processor. I save up leftover bread bits in a
basket and let it dry right out. Once I accumulate a basket full I break
it into small pieces, toss it into the food processor and whizz it down
until it gets fine enough for what I want. I usually keep two bags of
crumbs on hand, one coarse and one fine.
