Using Up Bread - bread & butter pudding etc?

earthmother

My freezer just defrosted itself :eek: , but luckily after I spend tomorrow jamming the fruit that was in there and bake a couple of pies, there are only a few loaves of bread that are unsalvageable, so I need some ides.

I reckon after taking sandwiches into account for a couple of days (before it goes furry), I have about 2 brown loaves to use up.

I have a bread pudding recipe that I can do and use in packed lunches, but my bread and butter recipe isnt so good - asks for 4 eggs, and makes it way too eggy - so has anyone got a nice recipe out there I can try?

Or any other ideas? Also, will using wholemeal instead of white bread affect the recipes?

I'm assuming I can't refreeze anything I make from all this

Hi, you could try here:-

Bread Pudding - Sweet and savoury versions

I know your bread isn't stale yet - but there are useful ideas here too:-

Bread - Stale Bread - what to do with it?

Thanks for the idea ecoelle - unfortunately the kids aren't so into fruit that I've ever got a summer fruit pudding down them, lol. I also don't really want to have to buy ingredients unless I can help it.

Squeaky - thanks again - both those links take me to the same place - some nice ideas, but many of the actual recipe links are dead

Done a search of the board, but not much else showing up (unless I've missed something) - think I'll have to hit Google

They must have been merged some time after they were indexed.

As for the various links - well, tempus fugit and all that.

A search on bread pudding pulls up a few threads; the best being:-

bread and butter pudding including banana and chocolate versions (merged)

And of interest might be:-

Can oy make Toffee Pudding from leftover bits of bread?

Christmas pud substitute - Bread and butter pudding - use up old stale bread

Hi earthmother,

There are some more ideas on this more recent thread: Use your loaf

I'll add your thread to that one later as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.

My cashew nut loaf recipe uses about 8oz crumbs, shout if you want it.

Google " Savoury bread and butter pudding" for loads of ideas. I think that the cheesey ones are really good with a tomato salad or a seasonal green veg such as sprouting broccoli.

*sigh* I'd love to make a b&B pudding tonight - never made one and after reading this thread would love to...my only prob is I have no dried fruit/sultanas/raisins OR marmalade/choc spread/jam etc to liven it up.

Only things I have left are as follows - can anyone give me b&b pudding recipe that would work with any of this stuff?

Bread
SR Flour/Plain Flour
Eggs/Milk/Butter
Sugar
Leftover coconut milk (about 3/4 tin).
fresh pineapple chunks
apples (not cooking)
Bananas
Kit Kats
Butter

Delia recipe is good basic one to adapt:

How about using pineapple chunks cut small and possibly banana instead of dried fruit and peel and use coconut milk instead of milk and cream to make the custard (make up amount with milk if necessary) instead .
It could be a pina colada bread and butter pudding!

Earthmother as far as I am aware Bread is one of the few things that you can refreeze without it becoming a threat from food poisoning.So I'd just bung them back in the freezer
