When bread goes stale.

Recently I posted on how we buy bread from the day old outlet and freeze what we won't use immediately.  Normally this works fine, but occasionally we mess up and do not rotate the bread quickly enough.  What to do?

Well, don't throw it out.  As long as it is not molded it can be used, and I don't just mean for the ducks.  If you break it up and place it on a tray to go fully stale, it makes good stuffing.  Another option is to break it into chunks, season and toast into homemade crutons with your oven.

If you have stale bagels, definitely do the crutons.  Bagels come out very tasty as crutons.

Think before you throw out.  If it is truly spoiled and is not tainted with meat or dairy, consider composting it.  Make the most out of "waste".
