<h2>10 tips to waste less bread</h2>
<p>1. Bread keeps very well, wrapped, in the freezer. Try not to store it in the fridge as this causes it to become stale.</p>
<p>2. Panzanella is a great option for using up leftover stale bread, especially in the summer months, or why not try our recipe for <a href="/recipes/no-churn-brown-bread-ice-cream">no-churn brown bread ice cream</a>. In the colder months, try using it in <a href="/recipes/bread-butter-pudding">bread and butter pudding</a>.</p>

<p>3. If you don’t fancy making a roux, or have run out of sauce, leftover blitzed bread can be used to thicken soups or sauces. Add a little at a time to the liquid, stirring well, until you achieve the desired consistency.</p>
<p>4. You can revive a whole loaf of crusty bread if it has gone stale. Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/ gas 3. Run the whole loaf under a running tap until wet, then put directly on the oven shelf and bake for 5-7 mins until crusty and soft again. Leave to cool before slicing.</p>
<p>5. Make a pangrattato to top pasta with. Blitz stale bread until fine, then tip into a hot pan with some olive oil. Toast for 2-3 mins until almost golden then stir in 2 grated garlic cloves, and the zest of 1 lemon. Cook for 1-2 mins then season well and top your pasta dish. You can mix in fresh herbs, dried herbs, anchovies, sundried tomatoes or grated hard cheeses.

<p>7. Dry bread out in a low oven until rock hard then blitz to crumbs in a food processor. Store sealed and frozen for up to three months. Use to bind burgers, for example, or for coating chicken.</p>
<p>8. Tear stale bread into 8 large chunks and nestle beneath chicken while roasting and you’ll have chicken fat croutons. You can scatter these over a roast chicken salad using any leftover meat. We use them in our <a href="/recipes/chicken-green-bean-sundried-tomato-salad-with-chicken-fat-croutons">chicken, green bean & sundried tomato salad with chicken fat croutons</a> recipe.</p>
