Do you have leftover bread just lying around? We tend to get rid of our leftover bread once it’s no longer fresh, but there are many ways to put your stale loaf to some good use— including these five.
Make Croutons
Why waste your money on croutons when you can make your own? Cut your leftover bread into tiny squares and use them as an add-in in your soups and salads.
Time for Salad
Speaking of salads, Panzanella salad utilizes leftover bread as one of its mean ingredients because bread cubes do a great job absorbing its garlicky dressing.
Toast Lovers
Toast lovers can use leftover bread to make some French toast. It’s a much better option than fresh bread in this case since it can absorb the moisture from the other ingredients you’re using.
Breadcrumbs
You can turn your stale bread into breadcrumbs and use them as a crunchy and refreshing topping in a wide range of different recipes.
Different Pudding
If you think that bread and pudding don’t go well together, it’s only because you haven’t tried bread pudding before and you don’t need fresh bread to make it.
