Stale Bread - what to do with it?

Curry_Queen

Use it to mop up gravy from a yummy beef stew (did that tonight) or toast it and top with mushrooms cooked in milk/cream, or beans, or anything really with a sauce to soften the bread.

My mum used to make bread pudding...(snip)...I'll try to get the actual recipe.

And here it is, quoted verbatim from an email from my mother...

"Bread pudding is made on the principle that if you have it, you put it in, i.e. a pawful of this and that. You soak the bread in milk until it’s soggy, and squidge it all together, add a couple of beaten eggs, dried fruit, mixed spice, sugar of any colour, mixed peel, marmalade, etc, etc. Then you spread it into a roasting tin, grate some nutmeg on the top if you’ve got it, and bake it slowly until it’s brown and yummy. It should remain squidgy in the middle but crusty on the top. I’ve never had a formal recipe, that one always works for me."

Yummy Summer Pudding, my favourite. Chop the crusts off the bread. Simmer a pan of soft summer fruits with sugar until soft. Drain off the fruit juice. Soak the bread in the fruit juice and line a pudding basin with it. Pile all the fruit in and place a lid of juice soaked bread on top. Put a plate on top with some heavyish weight on top of that and leave to set in fridge overnight. Turn it out onto a plate the next day and eat and eat and eat. MMMMmmmm - might have to leave my bread to stale up a bit now!

Hi,

Does anyone please have the recipe for the chocolate orange bread & butter pudding posted by Galtizz as the link no longer works. I think my kid sister would love to have a go of making (& eating) it when I see her tonight.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if you can freeze bread crumbs?

As in the ones you make yourself from bread? (as opposed to the orange ones in a tub from the shop)

If so then yep - I whizz all the ends of the loaf and add to breadcrumb bag in the freezer.

I had a look on the Kraft site and couldn't find it anywhere.

A google came up with This Recipe where you could use a Terry's Chocolate Orange where appropriate.

Or whizz into crumbs and use in savoury dishes- coating things, or on top of bakes.

Or make into breadcrumb cookies!!
