You can give them a new life and look like a culinary deity at the same time, by turning them all into a divine dessert (or breakfast, or snack, or lunch, or... whatever. No judgement here) fit for the gods themselves that will have everyone begging for more.
Best of all, the recipe is cheap, easy, and wildly versatile!
Here are just a few options for variations on the basic recipe.
- Classic, Worlds Best Bread Pudding
- Kitchen Scrap Stratarole v1.0
- French toast casserole
- Breakfast in Bread
- Full English Bake Up
- Toasted Cheese Breadwich
- Savoury Garlic Parmesan
- Holiday cranberry, pecan, candied orange bread pudding
- Curry cauliflower "souffle"
All you have to do is start putting those bread ends, leftover rolls, cookies, toast, English muffins, the last slice of cake, old doughnuts or bagels, the fortune cookies no one ever eats, the "test" pancakes, bread that didn't rise properly, pastries, etc, into the freezer before they get mouldy. I use gallon size Ziploc bags.
If you want to do savoury as well as sweet, put the sweets in separate freezer bags.
The one "rule" is that you want to have at least about half of the things be more "bready" than sweet (bagels, rolls, bread, pizza crusts, etc) to get the right texture. If most of your leftovers are sweets and you don't bake your own bread, grab a loaf of cheap, day old artisan bread from the grocery to supplement. I really love having a good amount of sourdough in mine, but any bread will do, really.
Once you've got a full bag or two, you're ready to whip up a batch of awesome.
Want to know what's even more awesome?
Not only is the flavour and add-ins variety practically endless, but there are several different cooking methods as well!
Besides the traditional, oven method, you can also make this delicious dish in your Instant pot/electric pressure cooker, regular (stovetop) pressure cooker, slow cooker, BBQ grill, campfire (cast iron Dutch oven needed), regular skillet on the stove, and even the microwave!!
