To make breadcrumbs, you can either use fresh bread or stale bread (as leftover bread becomes dry in a day or two). Step 1: Toast them on medium flame until they acquire a lovely golden brown color. Step 2: Keep them on a rack and let them cool up. Step 3: Break the bread into small pieces and place them in the mixer. Step 4: Grind it until you get nice and fine breadcrumbs. Make sure you do not grind it too much or too little, as you don't want the breadcrumbs to be too fine like powder or too coarse.
