At Bread Funatics, we cherish the joy that fresh, delicious bread brings and are committed to minimizing food waste. If you find yourself with an excess of bread, follow these tips to reduce waste while still enjoying every crumb. By storing and using bread wisely, you can enhance your meals and reduce your environmental impact. Here are our top three tips for making sure no bread ever goes to waste:
1. Store Bread Correctly
To keep your bread fresh for longer, store it in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or bread box. For extended storage, freeze the bread by slicing it first, so you can easily grab just what you need. Toast or warm the slices directly from the freezer for a fresh taste every time.
2. Get Creative with Leftovers
Don’t let slightly stale or leftover bread go to waste! Repurpose it into delicious dishes like crunchy croutons for salads and soups, a comforting bread pudding, or flavorful French toast. Homemade breadcrumbs are another great option, adding a unique touch to many recipes. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also sparks creativity in your cooking.
3. Share and Donate
In Cebu, where traditional food banks are less common, we ensure no bread goes to waste by sharing it with those in need. We take to our bikes to distribute fresh bread to local parks and shelters. If you have surplus bread, consider similar community outreach or find local programs that can benefit from your generosity.
