Hello,

Ideas and recipes, please, on what to with leftover bread.
I freeze the crusts and other left over bits of bread.
Now have rather a lot.
Thank you 😊

Make a Maltese bread pudding. Mine is the simplest: just soak the bread in milk, squeeze dry, and then add cocoa, candied fruit, vine fruit, jam, and if you like it, anisette. The mixture should not be runny, but not stiff, either. Bake until a crust forms at the top, and a knife comes out clean when you put it into the pudding.

If you want, you can add citrus zest.

Er,bread pudding is savoury and a bit like a soufflé. At least in my mother in law's recipe. And delicious it is too.

Bread pudding. I use my Nan's recipe. Lots of recipes on the Internet, just adapt to your taste.

The bread pudding I and many others know is made with bread soaked in milk, eggs, sugar and dried fruits.

My granddaughter much prefers the toasted crust to what she calls "ordinary bread". She says it's better for dipping into her breakfast egg!

Make breadcrumbs, toast them in the oven or under the grill and use them to make a Brown Betty.

One of my favourites!
