Can I do anything with (cooked) bread that hasn't risen?

Made some bread in the BM this morning and it hasn't risen, it's just finishing its cycle and I have what looks like a very flat dense loaf at the bottom of the pan.

Can I use this for anything (assuming it is actually cooked through OK) or should it just go out for the birds?

Thanks

Oh dear. Breadcrumbs anyone?

Mm, hadn't thought of that - can you freeze breadcrumbs?

I would make breadcrumbs and freeze them. I've got a batch in the freezer, handy for coating chicken, or mixing with Golden Syrup to make treacle tart.

Croutons? Chop into cubes, splash of olive oil and bake for a few minutes. Then freeze.

Crostini? Slice into thin slices, toast and top with different toppings.

Thanks Oakdale Minx - might do half crumbs and half croutons.

Frisbees? Sink the ducks?

Having taken it out of the BM, I've decided against breadcrumbs or croutons - doorstop is more like it :laugh: Going out on the bird table I reckon.

Ho hum, off to make some more!

Don't chuck it, break it up, soak in milk and make bread pud.

Thanks guys but now I've actually looked at it, smelled it etc I don't think it's fit for anything Have put it out to see whether the birds or squirrells can eat it!
