Notes

The total cooking time is for making 2 servings of breadcrumbs.
Instead of using a food processor, you can pour the fried bread into a resealable plastic bag and crush it with a pestle or a rolling pin.
To store the breadcrumbs, put them in an airtight food container and keep them at room temperature for about 1 month. You can also freeze them for about 3 months.
For an extra layer of protection, put them in a sealed plastic bag before placing them in the container.
You can choose to keep the crusts or remove them. Crustless bread results in finer breadcrumbs.
Besides using an air fryer, you can also bake the cubed bread in the oven at 300°F for about 10 minutes or until crisp and dried.
