What to do with leftover bread?(Image from a public domain photo by KReimer/Pixabay/CC0 1.0 )
Bread has been called the staff of life. It is one of the most universal foods known to humanity. Just about every culture has its own special take on bread: French croissants, Sottish bannock, middle Eastern pita bread and Mexican tortillas, Indian naan, South Asian chapati…
And just about every culture has its own way of using up that day-old bread!
When you buy or make a loaf of bread, often it starts to dry out and turn stale before it gets used up. Not to worry! There are literally dozens of recipes that use day-old or stale bread. In my house there are always a couple of slices, or the heel of a bakery loaf, that get passed over for a fresh loaf. I keep a bread bag in my freezer and toss in these abandoned bits as I discover them. Then when I want to use them, I have an ample supply!
Many frugal peasant recipes use stale bread as a main ingredient. Not only does it mean we aren’t wasting day-old bread, but it can also stretch our ground meats or fortify what would otherwise be a thin soup.
Our own @bestwriter has shared her recipes for leftover bread, including a Dahi wada. Here are twenty more ways to use stale bread:

I love your 20 ideas, I usually turned day old breads into toast bread or croutons instead.

Very nice post. At home, we usually prefer toasted bread. We always toast bread every morning.It can also save some left over bread trough toasting them.At hone, we just put the toasted bread with peanut butter or any bread cream.
I seldom have bread that goes stale.
The bread either gets eaten or gets so moldy that nobody dares to eat anymore.
In our climate, bread gets moldy very fast.
Very nice tips!I use stale bread crumbs to make veg pakoras. I cut some onions and potatoes in it and dip it in a mixture of gram flour and deep fry it.
Great ideas, @ruby3881. My mom used to make bread pudding to use up bread that did not have much longer before going bad. She would also collect the heels from the bread we would eat and freeze them to use for making stuffing at the holidays. I would love to grind them up in the blender. I always thought it was cool to do.
Though I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this tips will definitely help my wife. I was aware about some tips and some were entirely new.
This made me remember a day long ago when I was but a child. We were poor at the time and had no food on hand. I was complaining of hunger. My father went down the road and managed to get an old loaf of bread, a couple of potatoes and I don't know what else. He cooked the most delicious meal I ever had in my life. My father, rest his sou, was a miracle man.
That is a good list for using the leftover bread . I also have my list. I love working with leftovers. They can be used to prepare tasty and yummy snacks. Plus an another advantage is that there is no wastage of food too.
Number 12. For French onion soup. Yes! :)
Yes, my friend has told the better use of left over breads at home better use it in stead of it wasting into dust bin. I have seen most of the women waste crumbs of breads at home I do not know why what they keep in mind throwing the left over bread.
I am against all those women who waste left over bread. Its main reason that. In bread making God, Angels, law of nature and man take part to grow it for earthly men.
If someone throws bread into dust bin stale of fresh or left over make a colossal crime against nature. Such women waste the labor of God and men knowingly keeping in mind family richness or proud nature or do they considering it a fashion.
