Good Evening! I am in the process of making my very first gingerbread and I find I need to ask, as the loaf of Old Bread lies spread out on the counter, drying.
?
Just how finely ground should the breadcrumbs be? What i usually do is put them though a fine mesh strainer. Obviously, the bread has to be really dry, and the crumb is VERY fine, indeed.

Also-has anyone ever put freshly grated ginger in it, or does it have to dried and finely ground, as well? (I have a thumb-sized lump of fresh ginger in the fridge, and a nutmeg grater that I also use for lemon zest)

With breadcrumbs under my nails....

Thanks!

Helen
