To make bread crumbs, toast the heels of bread and chop in a blender. You can use any bread that has gotten dried out; just keep in refrigerator until you have enough bread to make something (make sure it isn't moldy).
I use it to put in my soup. Place in oven at 375 degrees F until it start to get dried out. Remove from the oven. Try them in your soup. It is delicious. This saves a lot of money, and you don't throw away food.

I think someone asked this a while ago. I think there are a few archives about it. Anyway, you can always make bread pudding.
You can make breakfast bread pudding as well as savoury or dessert. Or Place buttered slices over cooked vegetable or veg and meat then sprinkly cheese on top and put in oven. French toasts with egg, dry off in oven on low heat, use as melba toast Alternative uses, use bread rolled up in balls to clean off marks from wallpaper or cut into fingers to clean venetian blinds.
My mother would butter it, cube it, and put it in stewed tomatoes, with a touch of sugar. She would stir it in lightly when the tomatoes were hot and bubbly. It was actually real good. You can do this with fried apples, too.
Thank you to all responses and your suggestions as well as link to previous archives messages.
I save it until I have enough for bread pudding. There are many recipes on line for this.
Stale bread slices are always great for French Toast, as they are drier and soak up more of the egg mixture without falling apart.
You can make your own seasoned bread chips easily and quickly at home. The recipe on this page uses Parmesan cheese as the main seasoning, but other choices could also be used alone or in combination with the cheese.
Although many of us have fond memories of feeding bread to ducks and geese, or of Grandma saving bread for the backyard birds, it is now strongly discouraged. Not only are the nutrients unsuitable for a bird's nutrition, but moldy bread can cause a host of health concerns.
