Almost every one of us has leftover bread at some point. Bread becomes hard or stale after a few days, and we often think of throwing it in the trash. Did you know that this isn't just a waste of food, but also an opportunity? Yes, instead of throwing away your leftover or slightly stale bread, you can use it in six amazing ways (Leftover Bread Uses) that will leave your diners licking their fingers. Let's learn how to convert this 'waste' into 'best'.

Bread Crumbs
The best use for leftover bread is to make breadcrumbs. This is a kitchen hero that makes everything crispy. To do this, break the bread into small pieces and grind it in a mixer. Then, lightly toast it in a pan or in the oven until crisp. Store these crumbs in an airtight container. Use them as a coating whenever you want to make cutlets, kebabs, or fry chicken. Your dish will be so crispy on the outside that everyone will ask what you used.

Garlic Bread Chips
Cut the bread into thin triangles. Drizzle them with melted butter, garlic, and oregano, and bake or fry them. These crispy chips are delicious with evening tea or soup.

Bread Upma or Poha
Tear leftover bread into small pieces. Temper them with onions, curry leaves, and mustard seeds, just like upma or poha. This makes a quick and filling breakfast. The bread absorbs the flavors of the spices in the tempering.

Bread Pudding
This is a classic recipe for those with a sweet tooth. Soak the bread pieces in a mixture of milk, sugar, egg (if using), and vanilla essence. Bake or steam them. This is a warm and comforting dessert that's very easy to make.

Shahi Tukda
If you have a little bread leftover, deep-fry it in ghee and soak it in sugar syrup. Serve topped with thick rabri and dried fruits. Your old bread will be transformed into a wonderful royal dessert.

Soup Thickening Tip
This is a lesser-known hack. When making a thin soup or vegetable dish and want to thicken it, soak one or two slices of bread in water and grind them. Add this thick paste to the soup. This will instantly thicken and make your soup without any cornflour, without altering its taste.
