How To Bread Before Frying-best Crumb Source?

I am making a fried dish that needs breading. Is it better to make my own crumbs and dry them (toast them?) or to buy them-and if buy, what is the best brand?

I just make my own by putting bread in a food processor/blender. I've never tried it with toasted bread, I always just use regular bread and it's worked fine for me so far. They freeze pretty well too if you make too much. I prefer to make my own, I've bought ones before and find them kind of fake tasting.

make your own by chopping up in a food processor and then lay out on a baking sheet and toast in the over - won't take very long.

Really doesn't matter which you use -- but you want to season yourself rather than get the pre-seasoned ones so you can control salt & flavors...

I usually just toss a little low-calorie italian dressing (or olive oil & seasonings) on meats and then sprinkle with just a few bread crumbs (either dried out and/or toasted french if I have it available....) or some unseasoned Progresso or other commercial ones...

That way I get the taste of breading without so many calories & carbs....

I agree Panko are the best but a little $$$ for me...
