Hurray for Day-Old Bread
“Don’t toss out that loaf of bread or those crusty rolls that are a bit too crusty. Turn them into something that your gang will ooh and aah over.
It’s guaranteed or my name isn’t Mr. Food!”
|
| As long as your leftover bread is not fresh enough for anything else, but not yet rock hard, you can make the best of it by making any of these: |
| |
 |
Fresh Bread Crumbs: Simply put your day-old bread in a food processor with a grater blade and voila…you have the lightest, freshest-tasting bread crumbs you’ve ever eaten. |
|
Dry Bread Crumbs: Toast your day-old bread on a cookie sheet in a hot oven until golden. Place in a food processor with a grater blade. For seasoned bread crumbs, add some granulated garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning; there’s nothing like homemade. |
|
Crunchy Croutons: Cut your bread into ½-inch chunks, toss with melted butter or olive oil, season, and bake in a 375-degree oven until crunchy throughout. |
|
Toasted Garlic Bread: Simply butter and sprinkle granulated garlic on top of the cut side of your day-old rolls or French or Italian bread, and broil until golden; you’ve got an explosive-tasting garlic bread. |
|
Baked French Toast: Toss cubes of day-old bread with an egg and half-and-half mixture, along with some sugar and cinnamon; bake it in a loaf pan, slice, and enjoy. |
|
Bread Pudding: It’s simply a baked mixture of day-old bread cubes, milk, eggs, sugar, and cinnamon. It’s a great use for old bread and rolls, especially breads that have raisins or nuts, so dig out your favorite recipe or use one of ours! |
