Home-made breadcrumb coating
The crispy crust on many fried (or baked) foods comes from a breadcrumb coating. You can buy this, of course, but it's easy and much better to make your own at home.
For one thing, you will know excatly what's in it – just bread – which is not the case for the commercial product. This is also a great way to use up bits of dry bread that would otherwise go to waste.

Stage 2 - 1 hour
Put in the oven at 210°F (100°C) fro 1 to 2 hours. The idea is to dry out the bread without toasting it, so that the breadcrumbs will keep well.
Stage 3 - 2 min.
After this time, leave to cool, then tip the bread into a food-processor or blender goblet.
Stage 4 - 2 min.
Blend until the crumbs are as coarse or as fine as you want them.
Stage 5
Keep dry in an airtight jar.
Remarks
Another option for drying: use the residual heat of the oven after cooking something (such as a roast). As soon as you have finished cooking, turn the oven off and put in the tray of bread for 1 hour.
