Stale bread? Try this recipe Bread tends to go stale pretty fast, unless you freeze it immediately. If you accidentally leave the bag open you’ll be left with something that is stiff, dry and unsuitable for sandwich making. So long as your bread is stale but not mouldy, it can be salvaged and upcycled in a range of delicious foods.
