Extra thick bread

judi24

Hi I am a lurker on the OS board and have found load of tips and recipes - thanks to you all! I am trying to get out of debt and loose weight this year - and reducing waste food and reducuing food bill is one of my top prioroties.

I ordered Asda on line just before Christmas and somehow managed to order 3 loaves of extra thick sliced white bread! We just about managed to eat one loaf - the slices are so thick they look like 2 slices stuck together and only just fit in a wide slot toaster!!

I have 2 loaves left in the freezer and I have no idea what I can do with it - no one in the house likes it!

It is taking up valuable freezer space so I am looking for suggestions on what I can make with it! No one likes bread and butter pudding either!

Sensible suggestions only please:D It is so thick I think it would sink the local ducks!

Bread pudding

Bread and butter pudding mincemeat is nice in this and in bread pudding if you have any leftover.

Make into croutons for soup (cube and freeze, fry from frozen when you need them)

Make in to breadcrumbs for stuffingf/meatloaves/coating food for frying (freeze for when you need them)

Toasties

Fried cheese sandwiches

Savoury bread and butter pudding.

Sorry, didn't read properly!

Have you tried doing a search? Select 'advanced search' and then 'titles only'. I suggest you enter the words 'leftover bread' or 'stale bread'.

no one likes bread and butter pudding? oh dear.
I can remember my nan doing a bread pudding using leftover bread. she took the crust off then soaked the bread in milk and water overnight. the next day she added currants about 2 ozs of butter chopped up a little sugar and put in a baking tin. then she sprinkled more sugar on top. then baked in a slow oven for i think about 35 to 40 minutes. then left to get cold and cut into squares. us kids thought it a real treat. maybe another poster will remember the real recipe! cos it really was lovely and i only think this is how she made it!

you could make savoury bread and butter pudding?

You could try halving each slice - lay flat, hand on top, then a bit of horizontal bread-knifery. I've occasionally done this to get thin toast from normal thick-sliced, but this really needs toasting first (then toast the inside bits under the grill, not a toaster).

I saw thick slices and thick crusts in half. Lay it down flat and get a bread knife, rest your hand on the top of the slice and saw it in half sideways.
Doesnt work on soggy bread!

That's melba toast, link which will keep for a day or so & is fab with pate. Make a load of it , it will disappear.
