Do this with your leftover bread
Has your sliced bread become hard and dry? Whatever you do, don’t throw it away! There are countless ways to transform it into an amazing meal.
Panzanella
Panzanella is an Italian bread salad. You make it with your stale bread, fresh tomatoes, red onion, basil, garlic and olive oil. Perfect as a starter, but also as a summery main course. In the mood for some variation? Then make this version with avocado.
Panade
You make a panade with stock. The perfect description: soup to stand your spoon in. It’s not the prettiest dish you’ll ever eat, but it sure is delicious. Combine your old bread with other leftovers. Vegetables from yesterday, perhaps a piece of meat and, most importantly: plenty of cheese.
Strata
A strata is an American bread dish and actually very simple: the base consists of bread, milk, eggs and cheese. You can think of it as the savory version of bread pudding. You can eat a strata either sweet or savory. Be sure to try this version with bacon, burrata and smoked mozzarella.
Cinnamon roll french toast
Making French toast -wentelteefjes- with your leftover bread is, of course, always a good idea. But want to really go all out and wow your guests? You’re guaranteed to do that with this ultimate breakfast. Or dessert. Or snack. Or simply all day long. French toast combined with a cinnamon roll—this is exactly what you want.
Bread and Butter Pudding
Bread and butter pudding is a classic British dessert and the ultimate transformation of leftover bread. It is filled with creamy custard on the inside, while the top is buttery and crispy. Perfect paired with a scoop of homemade ice cream.
