Notes
- The duration will depend on how dry the bread already is and how thick your slices are. A good tip is to check the slices occasionally, making sure to turn them as you do.
- Zip lock bag are typically thicker than plain rubber/plastic bags. If you are using a rubber bag, make sure to double bag it. The toasted pieces are very sharp and will make tiny holes as you crush or break them with the rolling pin. This is not a big issue, but you don't want your breadcrumbs flying everywhere before you are even done.
- If you are using a glass bottle, rolling it over the toasted slices is a much better option than pounding, as the glass bottle can break.
