How to use up the end pieces of bread

You know, those 2 end pieces of bread, kids don’t want to eat, and has no shape to use in sandwiches. But we paid for it. If you are feeling guilty of putting those end pieces in the garbage, this article is for you!

Many people said that you can keep them in freezer, and then toast them together to make breadcrumbs. Good suggestion. But, if you are like me, you don’t use bread crumbs that much. So the crumbs are going to the garbage after all the work.

I like French toast. So I made French toast with end pieces. My daughter didn’t even notice it. This is how I made the French toast: Beat two eggs with a pinch of salt and 2 table spoons of milk. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and cook them on a hot skillet. Once the lower side is golden brown, turn and cooks the other side. My kid like to eat it with table syrup and butter. I like to eat it with little honey on top. Enjoy it any way you like.

The other thing I like to do is deep frying. Once in a while, a treat is OK. What I do is put the frozen bread pieces out to thaw. Once it is thawed, I will chop an onion, few green chillies and a small piece of ginger finely. Break the bread in to pieces. Mix everything to make pliable dough. Add little water if the dough is hard. Add a bit of flour and salt to taste. Make little balls and flatten a bit. Deep fry in hot oil. You can serve it with chutney or sauce.

You can make some quick pizza with them. Just put some meat or thinly sliced vegetables on the pieces. Put some shredded cheese on top. Place in a cookie sheet and bake in the oven. Or faster yet place them in the toaster oven. Ones the cheese is melted you can enjoy the quickie pizza.

Another quick way is to toast the bread slice with butter and sprinkle a bit of garlic powder on top to eat as garlic bread. One more idea. You can tear them to pieces and feed the birds and squirrels.
