Visited the
bakery earlier this week and got leftover bread sitting in your kitchen? Don't throw it away - here are five fantastic ways you can give your leftover bread a new lease of life!
Bread and butter pudding
Is a leftover bread blog really complete without mentioning bread and butter pudding? You really do need leftover bread to make this pudding shine, and it's the perfect choice if you need a crowd-pleasing sweet treat. You can add anything to your pudding, from the more traditional raisins to a dash of liqueur for the grown-ups.
Panzanella
Leftover bread and salad really do go hand-in-hand. Panzanella is a popular Italian summer salad, traditionally combining tomatoes, olive oil, olives, capers, peppers, and ciabatta. If you have leftover bread, simply cube it, toss it with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and bake it in the oven until crispy. You've just made the perfect croutons for this delicious healthy meal.
Breadcrumbs
If you've got stale bread, simply grind or crush it into fine crumbs and you'll have a fantastic accompaniment to baked fish, pies, chicken fillets or pasta bakes. Breadcrumbs give your dish that extra depth and crunch it's been looking for.
French toast
The perfect French toast really does need stale bread. Older bread soaks up the flavour and won't dissolve when you submerge it in moisture. For a delicious breakfast or brunch, why not serve up some French toast alongside some seasonal fruits and some maple syrup or honey? It's bound to be a hit.
Bruschetta
Looking for the perfect snack or entrée before a dinner party? Try bruschetta. Using older bread ensures the base will have the perfect crunch. Top your lightly toasted bread with the toppings you love - favourites include tomatoes, grilled capsicum, bocconcini cheese, and basil leaves.
