What do we say in English? no. x8

Dear All,

What's the verb to use when we want to say that bread "leaves a lot of crumbs" when we cut it?

I'm not sure how to say it. Hope you know what I mean.

Thanks

There's nothing wrong with saying that it leaves a lot of crumbs. If you must have a single verb, you could say that the bread crumbles (though this may sound slightly more severe, perhaps as if you can't cut it successfully at all). Or you could say that the bread is crumbly.
