TURN STALE BREAD/ROLLS INTO MUST-HAVE SNACKS

Unless a loaf is mouldy (it should be thrown away), there's absolutely no need to bin old bread or rolls...
Stale Challah Bread translates to a special occasion breakfast 
(see 
Mum's Day Sweet & Boozy French Bread Sticks)

Try these suggestions:  

Bread & Butter Puddings 
Stale bread/croissants makes fabulous puddings.  They come in all types: rich and stupendous; everyday with jam or marmalade, boozy and lots in between.  Many are budget friendly.  See Recipes I/Baked Goods, including special occasion ambrosial Chocolate Mint Bread & Butter Pudding and frugal Boozy Orange Bread & Butter Pudding  

No oven?  
Toast is the new go-to snack - from a toaster, air-fryer or frying pan (with bread well-buttered on both sides & fried - not for the cholesterol-phobic!). Cheese or sardines are favourite toppings but don't forget leftovers moistened with French Dressing or Yoghurt Mayo.  There's also unforgettable Pan Perdu/French toast in slices with or without a crunchy outer layer, or in thick sticks. (recipes below)

Refreshing Unsliced or Artisan Loaves 

Preheat oven to 150c/300-325f.  Stick the loaf (keeping the cut side away, if possible) under running water until the outside of the loaf is wet but not soaked through.  Depending on the size of the loaf, bake 6-7mins or 10-12mins


Sliced stale bread
Make into sandwiches; cover with a damp* - not wet - clean tea towel or j-cloth; clingfilm; refrigerate overnight (*run a tap over a tea towel but don't submerge; squeeze nearly all the water out but still damp to the touch) 

Croutons
It's the ratio of oil to bread that makes memorable croutons.  They're great in soup and salads or even as a topping for a casserole.
