BREAKING BREAD
“To use up stale bread I make a panzanella salad, or a frozen stuffing for chicken or fish, and breadcrumbs for crumbing fish.”
– Josh Niland
“WE ALL FIND ourselves with excess bread,” says Darren Robertson, ”but luckily there are plenty of ways to turn those unused slices into something really tasty.”
From a decked-out bread-and-butter pudding to your new go-to roast chook, “these easy recipes will help you use every crumb,” he says. “Bread is one everyday ingredient that presents so many opportunities to embrace really easy waste-free cooking.”
