New Ways to Use Old Bread
Stale bread can also be transformed into versatile kitchen staples:
- Pulse it into breadcrumbs
- Cube it for salads or soups
- Use it in savory dishes like panzanella
- Turn it into desserts that rely on its ability to hold moisture
Because it absorbs sauces, broths, and dressings so well, stale bread becomes a hidden asset waiting to be reinvented.
But Mold? That’s a Hard No.
Mold changes everything. If you see green, black, white, or fuzzy spots, the entire loaf must go. Mold threads run deep into the porous structure of bread—far beyond what you can see.
Eating moldy bread increases the risk of:
- allergic reactions
- gastrointestinal illness
- exposure to harmful mycotoxins
Even a little mold is too much, so when in doubt, throw it out.
