Tips

For the bread crumbs, it is best to take older slices of homemade whole-grain spelt bread and grind them in the blender. If you have leftover homemade bread rolls, you can also crush them. Then freeze the crumbs in a freezer bag. This way you always have bread or roll crumbs on hand. They are ideal for tofu cutlets.
