It was a hobby that started out of necessity, as a way to use up stale bread, but quickly turned into an activity I looked forward to for its meditative qualities. ADTo make them, I start by cutting a loaf of stale sourdough bread into large cubes and scattering them across a sheet tray. I like my crumbs large and scraggly, not fine and sandy like most store-bought varieties, so they can perfectly trap my favorite seasonings. Take your time, allow yourself to get lost in the process, and breathe some new life into your stale bread. Add the cheese and massage the bread crumbs with your hands so the cheese evenly coats the breadcrumbs and no large clumps remain.
