Set the chia seed/hot water aside until the mixture turns gelatinous. Also let the dried cranberries steep in the hot water until reconstituted

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry off the onion and leek until tender, about 5 minutes

Crumble the bread and cornbread into crumbs in a large bowl. You will end up with about 8 cups of crumbs altogether
