Fresh vs dried breadcrumbs
Dried breadcrumbs weigh about 108 g per cup. Fresh (soft) crumbs from untoasted bread are lighter and fluffier and add moisture to meatballs and stuffings, while dried crumbs are finer, denser and better for crisp coatings. As a rough guide, one slice of bread makes about ½ cup of fresh crumbs.
For a lighter, crunchier coating, panko is a popular swap — just use a touch more by volume.
