Bread
The generic loaf a recipe calls for when the exact type doesn't matter much. Day-old bread works best for stuffing, bread pudding, and French toast since it soaks up liquid without turning to mush.
Used for
- toast
- sandwiches
- bread pudding
- stuffing
In the kitchen
- Toast.
- Cube and dry out.
- Tear into pieces.
Picking it at the store
- For bread pudding or stuffing, let sliced bread sit out overnight (or toast lightly). Fresh bread turns gummy once soaked.
