Bread - Kennesaw,GA

You can always try to cube it, bake it and make croutons out of it. Or put it in the food processor and make bread crumbs out of it.

You could mnake a batch of breadcrumbs to have for casserole toppings etc... Also, stuffing is a great thing to make with leftover bread. Try www.cooks.com and bettycrocker.com. Enjoy!

I make croutons or put in the food processor for bread crumbs. Thanksgiving also is coming and it goes into my cornbread dressing. Other than that, it is tossed into the yard to feed the birds.

Duck pond! woo hoo!

croutons, breadcrumbs, leave it out for the birds, or compost. :)

We save ours to feed the ducks/geese at our lake! Do you have a local lake? My little one loves to feed them and the ducks love it too!

You could also use it in meatloaf...

I seriously used to contemplate inventing a half loaf of bread for single people...It would always get moldy before I used it all. Then I started storing it in the fridge. DUH.

what I do is keep my bread in the fridge, it lasts much longer that way and then I don't have to worry about using it up quickly.

You can make croutons and bread crumbs out of leftover bread. Freeze it until you're ready to use it though.

I feed my leftover bread to the ducks that are in the pond near my house. My daughters love it!!! Never thought to make french toast out of it. I'll try that next time.

Sorry, trying to figure out what you mean by left over bread? Do you mean the ends of the bread in the loaf? My kids won't use that part up of the bread, but other than that, the 4 or more loaves we use weekly is gone, gone, gone.

If you mean that you guys don't hardly use bread because you don't make sandwiches daily, then what about make croutons or put in the freezer to use later for meat loaf or dressing, etc.

French toast is great, especially if you cut out the middle with a cup and put an egg in there. Yummy!

The first thing you could do is throw it in the freezer and when a recipe calls for bread crumbs all you have to do is put it in the food processor! Also you can cube the bread and use it in your stuffing!Bread pudding is a great use of leftover bread and isn't hard to make. All it really is is a simple custard with bread in it. Try it and see for yourself!Enjoy.

I love good bread and like you I hate to waste it. Two quick things... first of all I usually buy a good loaf and have it sliced at the store. When I get home I put half in the freezer, usually double bag it. This way when your fresh bread runs out you can just pull it out and defrost.

Also, a few weeks ago I was visiting my sister in law. For breakfast she made toast and spread avacado on it. It was really good! Also really healthy and much better for the kids than butter. You can buy avacados ahead when they are hard and let them soften at home before using them. So simple but very yummy. You can put just a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor but be careful it is east to over salt.

Try making croutons for salads, soup or just for snacks. Our three year old likes to eat them just plain and really thinks that's a treat.

I suggest freezing part of the loaf as soon as you buy it, it stays fresher that way. Pull it out of the freezer as you need it. Bread thaws quickly.

Be careful about asking "food" related questions. Mamasource obviously has "issues" with people posting anything about "food". I posted a recipe about two weeks ago or maybe a week ago and they kindly "removed" it without explanation. Then I posted a question yesterday as to "why" we aren't allowed to do so and suggested there be somewhere to go to post just recipes to-it was kindly removed as well. I wonder if someone is playing a joke? I just can't see why in the world they would have an issue with this? I even got some PM's asking for the Recipe and those were kindly removed too-without explanation. I finally sent a FAQ to Mamasource because I would really like to know why. If that's going to be the case then maybe we should build a new website to go to where Recipes ARE allowed. How petty.......

I dry it out and make my own breadcrumbs. I even season them with spices.

I feel your pain, B.F. I had mold on a loaf yesterday that was only half-eaten! Once it gets that far gone, you can break it up for the birds or toss it in the waste can, but if you can think to put the left-over, nearly stale bread in the freezer, you can always use it to make stuffing or "dressing" as we call it in the South. My mom has always saved left-over biscuits and loaves of bread to mix in with her cornbread for dressing. It's really simple and very tasty if you add a can of cream of mushroom soup (if you don't have allergies to mushrooms) or cream of chicken soup along with a couple of eggs, a little milk, chopped onions, small amount of sage or even basil, and pop it in the oven at 375 until it gets brown on top and has a moist but not soupy consistency. Depending on how thick your dressing is will determine how long you'll need to cook it in the oven. Good luck with your left-over bread, and don't forget about those Christmas ornaments you can also make with bread and glue and cinnamon mixed together. You can probably get a good recipe for that on mamapedia.com. Take care and many blessings to you and yours.

I would definitely use it to make bread crumbs and croutons. I also would use it in meatloaves and home made dressing for the holidays.

bread crumbs for cooking, croutons for salads.

To prevent it from getting old, freeze it and only take what you need.

If you leave it out and it becomes stale you can use it to make stuffing for a chicken dinner or use it for homemade crutons. YOu can also make a dry bread salad, this is popular in Italia, the name just alludes me at the minute. You can use it as a thickening agent in soups.

You can also let it dry and feed it to the ducks at your local pond, my daughter loves it when we do this.

I also found this link with just under 7000 recipes all needing dry bread.

Hope this helps.

Homemade bread crumbs are the best! Put the slices on a cookie sheet 200 - 250 degrees flip every 10 minutes to prevent burning. It can take forever but the end result is worth it. I make a lot of home made bread and save a little from each loaf for my bread crumb mix (so yummy). Add seasonings to taste and you can create whatever your stomach desires. Happy eating!

It keeps longer in the fridge, but I'm not a fan of cold bread. You could freeze half the loaf when you buy it and take it out when the other half runs out. It tastes fine.

You could also use it to make garlic toast with dinner. Butter, garlic powder, maybe a little cheese. Yum!

I refrigerate the loaf. My MIL thinks it tastes bad if it's been in the fridge, but I can leave a loaf in there for a month and it won't go bad or dry out as long as there's a twist tie on it.

My family always saves and freezes the leftover bread to use in stuffing at the holidays(my family is from the north where we make "stuffing" as opposed to "dressing"). You could also us it to make homemade croutons for salad , homemade breadcrumbs for recipes, and to feed the birds at the park or you in your yard.
