Bread Crumbs:
Slice the bread as thin as possible and toast. Break up the toasted pieces and place into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs are made. Store in an airtight container in the freezer and they will last for months!
Croutons:
No matter what type of bread you made they can be made into delicious croutons. For a plain bread season cubed up pieces of bread with your favorite seasonings (i.e. garlic, rosemary, parsley, oregano, thyme) and salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil and place onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until the pieces have toasted and are crisp.
Homemade stuffing:
Slice bread thin and toast. Place into a zip lock storage bag and toss with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and salt and pepper. When your ready to use it mix in sauteed onions and celery with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stuff a chicken or small turkey or place in a shallow baking pan and bake until warm and top has crisped.
Never throw away another loaf!
