A downside of home-baked bread is that if you don't eat it or freeze it, then it will go stale through loss of moisture relatively quickly. And who likes stale bread? Not me. Freshly baked bread is a treasure, but a stale one is not a waste. You can easily revive them by misting the crust with some water and bake at 180C/350F for 10 minutes, or turning into one of my favourite kitchen staple - breadcrumbs (usign them to make meatloaf or meatballs), or turn them into a bread pudding or transform them into these fresh and delicious crusty rolls with this easy recipe from one of my favourite bakers Marcel Paa. The beauty is that because the leftovers are different, so every bread is amazingly versatile and has its own slightly different taste.
Recycling Old Bread - Spelt Bread Rolls with Old Bread
adapted from
Marcel Paa
| Old Bread Soaker | Dough |
|---|
- 100 g Stale dried bread (I used ciabatta)
- 200 g Water
|
- Old bread soaker
- 350 g Spelt bread flour (Dinkel #1050)
- 150 g Bread flour (German #1050)
- 8 g Fresh yeast
- 10 g Salt
- 3 g Barley malt extract (or honey)
- 30-50 g Sourdough, optional
- 150-250 g Waster
|
- Pull apart or cut the old bread, pour the water over it and press the bread into the water. Then knead the whole thing with your hands and leave it to swell overnight in the fridge.
- Remove the old bread soaker from the fridge and allow it to acclimatise at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
- Place the soaker in the bowl of your stand mixer with the remaining ingredients and knead on a low speed for 2-3 minutes. Increase the speed of the your mixer and knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a plastic wrap and leave to rest for 90 minutes at room temperature.
- In the meantime, stretch and fold the dough 1-2 times by pulling the dough up slightly on one side and place the dough on the opposite edge of the bowl. This works best if you dip your hands in a little water beforehand. Repeat this process from all four sides, cover the dough again and let it ferment for the rest of the time.
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and cut into 10 portions, each about 100-105 grams. Shape each dough into a round, then roll each dough ball slightly elongated and place it seam side up on a towel dusted with flour. Draw a fold between the dough balls with the towel so that the shaped dough balls do not stick together and are somewhat supported. Cover and leave to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, place a tray for the steam at the bottom of oven and preheat the oven to 220C/ 430F.
- Place the dough balls seam side down on a lightly grease baking tray. Make a center cut lighthwise with a sharp knife.
- Place the baking tray in the middle of hot oven and pour a cup of water into the prepared tray at the bottom of the oven. Close the oven door immediately. Lower the oven temperature to 210C/410F and bake the bread rolls for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, open the oven door briefly so that the steam can escape and then bake the rolls for a further 10-15 minutes until crispy. Cool the bread rolls on a wire rack.

No one likes stale bread and gluten free bread gets stale very fast. So,I often use it in salads or in making french toast. But this one is very interesting recipe. Never knew you can remake the old bread into rolls.
Great tips to avoid wasting good bread ~Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Buena opción para el pan duro. Yo cuando tengo pan que me sobra hago sopa de pan o bundines. Te mando un beso.
They do look nice.
...looks yummy!
As you do, I recycle every piece of bread!!....I make cookies with my breadcrumbs too.... your bread looks delicious!.....Abrazotes, Marcela
Thank you for this great tips to revive stale bread. They look just like new bread.
These are great tips, Angie.
Waste not!
I had no idea that you could remake stale bread. Wonderful information. Bernadette, New Classic Recipe
Davvero una bella idea c, questi panini sono deliziosi!
Interesting! We freeze bread (there are only two of us, so we really have too), so we don't often have stale bread. And when we do, we can always use breadcrumbs! But this is an excellent idea -- thanks.
That is very unusual. I do not throw away bread, I eat even a three day old bread as it is healthier eating it stale than fresh. I also make bread crumbs or just my favourite French toast, which is the only time when I eat eggs.
Panini fantastici, complimenti!!!
Wow.. I had no idea you could do that. Brilliant.
This is very clever, thank you for the great tips Angie :)
You're a real bread specialist!
Interesting idea Angie- We keep all of our bread frozen and only take out what we need. It's Judee
That sure does look good!
In Deutschland gibt es viele tolle Brot und Brötchen Rezepte mit alt Brot, es gibt ein besonderes Aroma.
Viele Grüße,
