A New Life for Stale Bread
Don't know what to do with that bread that's going stale? It's perfect for French toast! The fresher your bread, the more it will fall apart in the batter. Use bread that is nearing the end of its shelf life. It will be a little tougher and will hold together better when soaked in batter.
