What to Make With Leftover Bread
Stale bread is more useful than fresh for at least four dishes.
Ideas that actually work
Croutons
Cube, toss with oil and salt, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 minutes.
Breadcrumbs
Blitz dry bread and store in the freezer for coatings and toppings.
French toast
Stale bread soaks the custard better than fresh.
Panzanella
Toss torn bread with tomatoes, oil, and vinegar and let it sit 20 minutes.
How long it keeps
Keep at room temperature in paper, or freeze sliced for months.
