Every now and then you have too much bread. It would be a pity to waste it, and it may be slightly too old to eat with sandwiches already. Here’s what you can do with it.

Czasem zdarzy się, że masz zbyt dużo chleba. Szkoda byłoby go zmarnować, a może być już troszkę za stary, żeby zrobić z niego kanapkę. Oto co możesz z nim zrobić.

This is a page in active development. I will be throwing in ideas when I get them.

Croutons in salad

Dice the bread and put it in a roasting pan. Add some seeds (I like pumpkin and sunflower the best), sprinkle salt, add one splash of oil, mix and roast in the oven till it gets nice and crunchy.

Salad ingredients

Get a lot of salad, add some pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers in brine, put the croutons on top and enjoy, add some dressing (I used whole mustard, apple vinegar and maple syrup).

Bread crumbs

If you have a mincer, or at least a grater, slice the bread up, let it get completely dry and make bread crumbs. You can use it to thicken a sauce, to do a fish/pork chop breading, or, if in deep gastro crisis, mix it up with egg and a bit of milk, add salt and pepper, and fry like some meat.

Having more than one type of bread in your bread crumbs will add a slight variation to the outcome.

Kvass

If you get some old rye bread, preferably with malted grains, you can use it to make Kvass. See the recipe.

Bramboraky

These Czech pancakes are a quick and easy recipe. Just dip the old bread in water and add all the ingredients. See the bramboraky recipe.
