What can be prepared from the crumb of the loaf. What can be made from stale bread - baking recipes

After 12 hours from the moment of baking, the process of starch retrograde is activated in bakery products - a complex carbohydrate, releasing moisture, returns to a crystalline state. The crumb loses its elasticity and begins to crumble, but the change in physical properties is not accompanied by a decrease in the amount of trace elements and vitamins contained in it. A stale loaf is an indispensable culinary ingredient; This is confirmed by the following recipes for dishes that can be made from stale bread.

The fillings are different, the taste is equally peerless

Original pies from dried slices of bakery products - hearty pastries that can replace a full dinner (lunch). A minimum of time is spent on cooking, and all family members will be satisfied with the result.

To bake a sweet cake of stale bread with hazelnuts (you can bake with walnuts), you will need:

  • 6 slices of rye rolls up to 6 mm thick;
  • 2 cups of nuts (walnuts and hazelnuts in equal proportions);
  • 7 eggs (proteins should be separated from the yolks in advance);
  • a glass of sugar;
  • 5 g of salt (half a teaspoon).

Before starting work, you must turn on the oven (it must be heated to 160-170 degrees). The proteins cooled in the refrigerator are whipped with salt, the yolks are whisked with sugar. A mixture of chopped nuts is lightly roasted in a hot pan without adding oil. Bread is crushed using a meat grinder or food processor.

All prepared products are gently mixed (proteins are introduced into the mass last), the resulting dough is poured into a baking dish. Cooking time - 60-70 minutes.

For a summer baked pie from dried bread and cottage cheese you will need:

  • Cream - 1 cup.
  • Sugar - 100 g.
  • Fresh berries (raspberries, currants), mashed with sugar, in the amount of one and a half glasses.
  • Powdered sugar - 2 tbsp. l
  • 400 g of grated bread and cottage cheese.
  • Cinnamon (not more than ½ tsp) will give a special flavor to the dessert.

The cream is whipped with powder, the bread is mixed with sugar and cinnamon. Cottage cheese is rubbed through a sieve until an airy homogeneous mass is obtained.

Prepared ingredients are laid out in a glass bowl in the following order: first bread, then berries, on top - cottage cheese and whipped cream. Layers are repeated one more time. To soak the cake should be kept in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.


Recipes from stale bread will help housewives not only pamper their sweet tooth, but also please lovers of pastries with meat filling. A vivid confirmation of this is a layer cake with minced meat. This dish is prepared from long loaf, milk (0.8-1 l) and 4 eggs (2 of them need to be boiled hard-boiled). For the filling, you need half a kilogram of minced meat, 1 large onion.

Bread - the basis of baking - must be cut into slices 1-1.5 cm wide; pour the pieces with a mixture of raw eggs and milk. The resulting mass is pepper and salt to taste.

Boiled eggs and onions should be chopped into small cubes, combined with minced meat in a pan until half-cooked.

The baking dish should be greased liberally with butter. A stale loaf well-soaked with milk is transferred to the container (it is recommended to put the sides of the dishes in part of the pieces), which is covered with a layer of warm minced meat. The surface of the pie is formed from the remaining slices of bread, watered with the remnants of the egg-milk mixture.

The dish must be baked until golden brown.

The filling and the rest of the roll are placed on top. The mass is filled with eggs, whipped with milk, baked in the oven (at a temperature of not more than 200 ° C). In some recipes, all ingredients are mixed and laid out in a mold.

Place half of the thoroughly mixed mass in a greased dish sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Cut fruit, spread on top. Cover with the rest of the bread with eggs and flour, sprinkle with sugar, combined with cinnamon. Bake strata in the oven at the above temperature for 30 minutes.

You can prepare a hearty breakfast of ½ stale white rolls and carrots (2 pcs are required). The bread, previously soaked in a glass of milk, must be combined with 2 mashed with sugar (amount of sand - 2 tbsp) yolks and 2 whipped whites, a pinch of salt. Stir the mass, put in the form, bake. Such a dish is recommended to serve with sour cream.

Strata filling can also be prepared from the following components:

  • 200 g of stale rolls;
  • 1 tbsp. warmed milk;
  • egg;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 3 tbsp. l flour (preferably pancake).

The easiest lazy pizza

2:92

3:597 3:607

We will need:
  1 loaf
  500 g of ham (although any other sausage will do),
  1 small onion (it is better if it is the Yalta onion - it is more piquant),
  more cheese (200 grams), moreover hard.
  2-3 pcs of large tomatoes.
  Spice sauce to taste. Spices may include Provencal herbs or Suneli hops, for example. And as a sauce, ketchup is often used, in some cases mixing it with mayonnaise.

White sauce is also a good alternative. In principle, that’s all.

You can add something else to taste or replace some ingredients with others.

What to do with a loaf?
  So, there are several options. Loaf pizza can look different. Some people “take off” ¼ of the top of the bread, and then cut out almost the entire crumb. Others cut it into large pieces. Honestly, the latter option is more convenient. Because when then, after cooking, you have to cut it into even pieces, the filling falls apart. That is why pizza from a loaf is much more “convenient” if you cut the bread into pieces and cut the flesh out of them.

So, after the loaf is prepared, you can do the simplest part of cooking. That is, the filling. To make the pizza tasty, you need to consider several nuances.
  First - if you want to add mushrooms to the dish, then they must be prepared in advance. Fry in a skillet. The fact is that in the process of heat treatment (i.e., when stewing or roasting), the mushrooms secrete copious juice. It is necessary to drain the formed liquid and put ready-made and sliced \u200b\u200binto the loaf. “Dry,” so to speak. Because if mushrooms begin to secrete juice in pizza, it will turn out wet and not baked. By the way, the same goes for meat. If instead of sausage you want to put slices of beef, chicken or pork - they must definitely be fried, because in bread they will remain raw. It is also desirable to prepare the sauce. Mix all the ingredients and preferably add spices. You can even boil it so that the taste opens. And then, when all the filling is laid in a loaf, and sprinkle with spices on top will not be superfluous. This will add flavor and piquancy.

And finally, grate the cheese and sprinkle with plenty of almost finished dish. Then cover the pan with a lid and wait. It is necessary that the cheese is melted, and completely. Ideally, if an even ruddy “film” of cheese is formed on top. It will turn out very tasty. Here it is necessary to ensure that the loaf from below does not burn. In this regard, the oven is more convenient - there the heat is distributed evenly. In general, the mass of recipes. But each of them is original and tasty in its own way.

And again about daily bread

Since ancient times in the Urals and Siberia freshly baked bread was frozen,   and as needed warmed loaves in the Russian stove. The bread again became soft, ruddy, with a delicious crispy crust.
It turns out that bread stalls the fastest at a temperature of +2 degrees. It is this temperature on the top shelf of the refrigerator where most of us store bread.
For long-term storage of bread is best suited at a temperature of –25 degrees.   And if necessary, put frozen bread for ten minutes in the oven, but in a tightly closed pan, and you will get fragrant hot bread. And if you don’t want to bother with warming up, simply, without removing the plastic bag, put the bread on the table, and after two hours it will be ready for use. You can freeze bread by slicing it into pieces. Then, when defrosting, you will take as many slices of bread as you need.

From stale bread you can always dry crackers, which can then be consumed with broth, soup, etc. Keep crackers  in clean linen bags, and   You can always use them for breading, cooking jelly, casseroles and kvass.

How to cook fondue

Fondue first appeared in the Swiss Alps.

The principle of preparation of this dish not much changed - bread, cheese and wine plus a pot and a spirit lamp.   Continued see

"Polechka"

Do not rush to get rid of dried bread. In many countries, bread is a vital product, and throwing it away is a bad omen. Especially in our post- and pre-crisis times, many European nations owl and turn for help to the experience of our great-grandmothers.

Of course, in order to realize it, a loaf of bread should initially be very good, with a perfectly browned crust, not crumble, and if you cut off a thick piece from it and place it, it will not fall.

One is that he is aging incorrectly. The crumbling crust and cotton pulp remain unchanged until all the bread is covered with mold.

Try making bread crumbs from white bread, and you just get dust that disappears in your mouth, as if it were blown away by the wind.

Stale bread dishes in different countries

Good bread, however, rarely disappoints. And this uses a huge number of recipes available in reserve in every culinary culture. Stale bread is everywhere in the yard.

For example - . Not a single summer is complete without panzanellas(salad of Tuscan bread and tomatoes) and soup (rustic soup with the same ingredients). And in the winter season, the remaining halves of stale bread often turn into soaked custard.

French toast is another favorite treat: toasted bread spread with fresh strawberries, grated with sugar, or orange jam, or croutons in an egg - great for weekly outings inside the house during the cold months of the year.

Leftover Yummy

Bread is the centerpiece for cooking leftover foods. This spontaneous part of the culinary art, which does not require long preparation, often presents the world with delicious food and unexpectedly successful combinations, forming the basis of many whip soups, pastries, salads or casseroles: it is satisfying enough to satisfy the appetite and quite democratic, which allows it to be mixed with a thousand other things.

Therefore, even if it is One movement of a food processor and it turns a plain crust into crumbs, which can then be frozen and used for breading fishcakes or for making a surprisingly spicy bread sauce.

In short, bread is the head of everything, even if it is not as fresh as yesterday.

In a bowl, beat eggs, egg yolk, and powdered sugar until a light and foamy consistency is obtained, then add milk, cream, vanilla extract, and a little ground nutmeg. Put a third of the slices of bread on the bottom of the dish and put 1/2 bananas and chocolate on top.
