How to use stale bread: 3 useful tips

SSPDaily has revealed how stale bread can be turned into flavorful crackers and delicious bread pudding. These tips will be a practical and economical solution for delicious dishes.

Croutons

Cut the bread into small cubes, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you wish. After that, you can put the seasoned cubes on a baking sheet and bake at 190°C for 10-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. These homemade croutons are a great addition to salads and soups, and can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week for later use.

Bread pudding

Break the bread into pieces and soak it in a mixture of milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and any desired additives, such as chocolate chips or dried fruit.

Then put the soaked bread into a baking dish, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake at 180°C for 30-40 minutes. The result is a hearty pudding that makes an ideal dessert or breakfast.

Breadcrumbs

You can simply put bread in a food processor and grind it into fine crumbs. Then pour them onto a baking sheet and bake at 150°C for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden. Once cooled, the breadcrumbs can be stored in an airtight container for later use in meatloaf, casseroles, or as a flavorful breading for chicken or fish.
