If you’re like me, and sometimes forget what’s in your pantry, you probably buy more bread than you can use on occasion. How many loaves have dried on your counter?

Rather than throw it to the birds, you might soak it in milk kissed with cinnamon and sugar to make a buttery pan of French toast. You could pulverize the dry slices in a food processor to make bread crumbs, or cube and fry it in a little olive oil for salad croutons.
