Every guest brought us a loaf of really good artisan bread and now I need ideas for what to do with it?!
Answers: I don't want to make lots of bread crumbs or croutons. What do you think? Most are sourdough long loaves, and I have wheat sourdough and some garlic and herb loaf. Thanks!
For Breakfast:
French Toast
Toasted with Cinnamon and Sugar
Eggs Benedict (instead of English muffin)
Lunch:
Panini's and Soup
Mini Pizza's (like french bread pizzas)
Toast them to dip in your soup's or eat with Salads
They would go great with Pasta Salads
Dinner:
Since you have several types, mix and match which ones you toast and keep soft, then arrange them in a basket and place on the table. Have butter and olive oils with fresh Parmesan cheese to dip them in.
give it to ppl in need
I love to make bruschetta with slender slices of sourdough.
You can also make garlic bread out of it...mini pizzas...anything you want.
Just get a little creative and go from there. :)
YOU CAN FREEZE SOME OF IT AND WITH SOME OF IT MAKE LOAVES OF BREAD ~ YOU COULD BE GENEROUS, ALSO, AND SHARE IT.
buy some good cold cuts and make oven paninis (sandwiches). Also pick out a good bottle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and have it for a dipping appetizer before dinner one night.
with the sourdough you can make bread pudding, the wheat one dry up per slices to make some biscuits/bruschetta, the garlic you can make croutons and the herbs one make some crumbs and put in a dry place , you can mix it with a little bit of flour and some garlic powder to batter your chicken/fish or sprinkle on top of soups or salads, the dry sliced one you can fix a nice onion soup
freeze some of it. the garlic and herb loaf sounds good making croutons, or just eat it first.
you could also make french toast........
Put in freezer bags and freeze or if any is getting stale, cut it up in small pieces and go to the park and feed the ducks.
