The Easiest Way to Repurpose Old Slices

Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C). Lower temps are best for drying bread evenly without burning it. Slice your bread into 1/2-inch cubes or strips, keeping the pieces as uniform as possible. Leave the crust on unless you want it off. Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. If you’re making a big batch, use two sheets. Bake for 10 minutes, then check for crunchiness. If they’re still soft, flip them and bake another 5-10 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. Let the bread cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Dried bread keeps for about a week at room temp, or freeze for longer storage. Perfect for stuffing, croutons, or homemade breadcrumbs! #BreadHacks #KitchenTips #FoodWasteNoMore #Food #Cooking
