GF Bread Odd Ends - Ideas

Here's the thing. We use a bread machine. Not a fancy gluten free one. Just one I got from a freecycle site and scrubbed the heck out of. When Steele's bread is done, it's a large short square that's a little too big to slice horizontal for sandwiches. I usually cut two edges down so it fits his bologna or is the same size as 'normal' bread.

Then I end up with all these bread strips and being the cheapest person on the planet I have to find some way to utilize them, even if it means a feed the ducks run.

One way:
Save the strips and freeze them. Thaw and toss on foil and broil until brownish and dry, then throw in the food processor and make bread crumbs for his meatloaf.

Another way:
Save the strips and freeze them. Thaw and butter lightly. Slice sticks into cubes then roll in italian spices and a little bit of adobo. Toss on some foil and broil until brownish and dry. Voila, you now have croutons.

Another way:
Save the strips and freeze them until you have enough to make bread pudding. (see recipe)

If you haven't used your strips in two weeks... here duckie, duckie, duckie....
