Bread

I give mine to the seagulls.

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

One of my favourites!

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

I always do bread pudding.

Philippa111 Now THAT sounds good!!

Breadcrumbs,always make my own and freeze them. Bread and Butter Pudding...

PS. and mixed spice.

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

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

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.

If you want, you can add citrus zest.

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.

Bread has little nutritional value for birds. They will eat it but there are much better foods we can give. Some larger birds like ducks should not be given bread. I know, I used to do it until it was explained to me and I checked for myself.

You could some bits of bread out for birds?? If it's a bit stale, wet it first?

I always freeze any bread I buy and take out the slices as and when required because I mostly toast the bread. If I want sandwiches I just defrost the amount of bread slices I need so never any waste.

Love the toasted breadcrumb idea grandtante - thanks.

Grease an ovenfast dish well.
Lay a thick layer of home-made bread crumbs in it, then a layer of stewed apples, or apple purée. Continue with alternating layers of breadcrumbs and apple until the dish is full, ending with a layer of breadcrumbs. Add red currant jelly or raspberry jam in dollops to the top layer, alternating with small pieces of butter and bake in a moderately warm oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Serve with cream

Bread crumbs that have been toasted lightly on a dry frying pan can be used instead of grated parmesan cheese on pasta dishes. You can make a large quantity and store it in the fridge in a jar with a tight fitting lid.

I know it as Summer pudding

The best bread and butter pudding I have ever had was in France where they soak the raisins in brandy first and add the juice to the mixture. Add some lemon and or orange zest, a dash of vanilla essence and continue as we do here. You can splash more Brandy on the bread as well. Delicious warm, not hot, or at room temperature with a cup of tea in the afternoon.

I love the use of alcohol in cooking generally. A spash of brandy or rum can elevate a dish. I buy the cheap brandy in Waitrose or Lidl.

Savoury Spinach and Cheese Bread Pudding, by Backyard Chef on YouTube. It’s delicious.

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

We buy low GI bread from our local bakers. Expensive but so good.

We eat the crusts so nothing to freeze.

Croutons! Can be flavoured with herbs or garlic powder. Baking them in the oven having tossed in just a little olive oil is probably healthier than frying when more oil is needed. Better with white bread but I do make them with brown/wholemeal.

I havent had bread pudding for years, used to love it.
