My OH bought a small brown french bread yesterday (reduced!) but I hadn't planned for it and therefore its going to waste....Any good ideas? I've already cooked for tonight so either a dessert or something I can freeze would be great.

Many thanks

    How about making up a garlic bread, and puting in the freezer ready for next time you need one.

    If it's still fresh enough why not just slice and freeze as is? If not then I'd second the garlic bread!

    FRENCH ANCHOVY TOAST

    Serves 2

    INGREDIENTS

    50g tin of anchovy fillets in olive oil
    1 clove of garlic
    ½ a French loaf

    METHOD

    Turn the oven on to 220°C, 425°F, gas mark 7.

    Open the tin of anchovies and put both the fish and the olive oil into a bowl. Peel and crush* the garlic into the bowl. Mash up the anchovies and garlic.

    Cut 4 slices of French bread. Lightly toast them. Spread the fish paste on one side.

    Put them on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 5 minutes.

    ADDITIONS & ALTERNATIVES

    Add ¼ of a teaspoon of wine vinegar.

    * The garlic really does need to be crushed rather than finely chopped.
