14 MANY USES FOR STALE BREAD Most Common Article of Waste, Yet It Can Be Made Into Toothsome Delicacies Washington, D. C., May 4.—Bread Is one of the items most commonly wasted in many American house holds, say the spaclalists of the U. B. Department of Agriculture. This Waste is probably duo to the fact that many housekeepers do not think of bread as costing much and are careless about its use or do not know what to do with the odds and ends frequently found in the bread box. Good, fresh bread has a spongy texture which in time disappears, leaving the bread dry and crumbly, the moisture gradually passing out through the crust. Pread a little too stale to be appetizing, but not yet hard, may be freshened by putting It into the over for . a few minutes. The heat seems to drive the moisture from the crust back into the center of the loaf, making the crust more crisp and the crumb a little more spongy. Some housekeep ers moisten the surface of the bread and sometimes cover it before put ting it into the oven, but others think that moistening injures the texture of the crust without improv ing the crumb. Polls or biscuits which have a greater surface in proportion to their nizc, dry out more rapidly than loaves of bread. It is good planning, there fore, not to provide more than will be used at a meal or at least a day lifter baking. For similar reasons, bread stays fresh longer in the loaf than after it is sliced. No more than will be needed should be cut for any one meal and one loaf should be used up before the next is cut into. When the bread needs freshening it is a good plan to cut the required slices and put them into the oven for a few minutes just before serving. Toast Toast is another form in which partly stale bread can be made at tractive. In many families it is served only for breakfast, luncheon or supper, but the custom which many high grade restaurants have adopted of serving thin, crisp, hot toast with the more substantial meals, might well be followed at liome. Such dishes as chopped meat with gravy, creamed chicken or fish, poached eggs, melted cheese, cook ed asparagus, Swiss chard, baked to matoes. etc., are served very com monly on toast. Cream or milk toast (that is, toast with a cream sauce or milk gravy, perhaps flavored with a very little chipped beef, salt fish, or other savory) may be used as the main dish at breakfast, luncheon or supper. Slices of toast may also be dipped in water or milk and beaten egg, and lightly browned on a hot greased pan. The receipt for this dish, which is called by various names, is given in the appended re ceipts under the heading "Egg Toast." It may be used at breakfast, and has the advantage of making the eggs "go further" than if used in a sep arate dish, or it may be served with cinnamon and sugar, syrup or any sweet sauce for dessert. As a Breakfast Food Another good way of using stale bread or of treating bread so that I it shall not become stale, is to put the pieces in the warming oven or on the back of the stove and leave them until they are crisp and a deli cate brown throughout. This is often called twice-baked bread and is very popular with children and also with grown-ups who like its "crunehiness" and the tiavor which comes with the | slight browning. The rusks which used to be commonly served like! breakfast cereals in some parts of the country were made by crushing such twice-baked bread with a roll ing pin. Crumbs Valuable in Cookery There is nothing new in the idea | of using bread crumbs, in cookery and most housekeepers are in the habit of having some on hand for use in scalloped dishes, stuffing for meat, puddings, etc. Few realize, however, how much more generally they might be utilized. Many com mercial bakers use bread crumbs to some extent as a substitute for the Hour in many sorts of cakes, cookies, I puddings, etc. Crumbs may also be used instead of flour and starch for thickening soups and sauces. Any bits of bread which cannot he eaten on the table should be saved and crumbed for use in cook ing. Some housekeepers keep two kinds on hand; one. stale crumbs made chiefly from the inside of the loaf and suitable for use in the place of flour, and dried crumbs made from any part of the bread browned a little in a very slow oven and crushed tine to be used in scalloped dishes, for the coating of crouquettes or other fried foods, or wherever *a crusty, fine crumb is needed. To pre vent their growing musty, crumbs should lie kept in dry, air-tight con tainers. Fruit jars are often conven ient for the purpose. How to I'tili/.c Quick Breads Yeast-made bread is by no means the only bread that can be utilized in some of the ways suggested. The quick breads raised by baking pow der. soda and sour milk or other acid, etc., dry out more quickly than the yeast bread, probably because the water is not so thoroughly incorpo rated with the flour during the ma king. These breads can not be fresh ened simply by putting in the oven like yeast-raised bread. Quick bis cuit, however, make delicious toast which is very convenient for serv ing under meats, eggs, etc. The crumbs made from them may also he used in other breads, cakes and puddings, as may also corn bread ami cake crumbs wherever their fla vor is not objectionable. Boston brown bread toasted and served with a cream sauce is a- delicious dish for supper or breakfast. Toast ed rye bread is also good. Crackers, which are practically dried bread baked in different shapes, and which may lose their erispness If kept ex posed when the air is moist, can be freshened or made crisp by putting into the oven. The crumbs made them serve many of the purposes of dried bread crumbs. A number of receipts for using left-over bread fol low: Stale Broad Receipts vegetable Soup Thickened With Bread Crumps—l quart skim milk, 1 cup bread crumbs, or 2 large slices stale bread, salt; small amount of spinach or outer leaves lettuce, not ruore than 4 ounces), 1 small slice jiion. Cut the vegetables into small pieces ,1-ind cook with the bread crumbs In ihe milk in a double boiler. If a largo quantity is being prepared, as ' !n a school lunch room, for example, put the vegetables through a meat chopper. In this case slices of bread may be ground with the vegetables, in order to absorb the juice. Pancakes, One cup crumbs, 2ft cups skim milk. % cup flour, 4 teaspoons ba king powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tea spoon sugar, 1 teaspoon melted fat, 1 egg. , Soak crumhs inmilk for 3-4 hour. Then add other ingredients and cook on a hot griddle like ordinary pan cakes. If sour milk is used, substi tute '/i teaspoon baking soda for the four teaspoons buklng powder. Gingerbread One cup molasses. % cup boiling " MONDAY EVENING, ' water, 1 1-3 cups fine bread crumbs, 2-3 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking so da, 1y 2 teaspoons ginger, % tea spoon salt, 4 teaspoons melted lard, or other fat. Add water to molasses and com bine with the dry ingredients mixed together, then add fat and beat. Hake for about 25 minutes in a hot oven. Indian Piulding Made With Crumbs One cup tine crumbs, 1 quart skim milk, 1-3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter or other fat. M cup molasses, >4 teaspoon ginger, V teaspoon cloves, ',4 teaspoon cinna mon. Scald the crumbs in milk: add the other ingredients, and bake 1 1.4 hours in a slow oven. This pudding may be made with any kind of bread crumbs, but it furnishes an espe cially good means of using up stale corn bread. Egg; Toast Six slices bread, 1 egg, 1 cup milk, skim milk or water, teaspoon salt. Peat the egg, and add the liquid and salt. Let the bread soak in the mixture until slightly soft. Then fry to a light brown on a hot, well greased pan or griddle. More eggs may be used if available. Judge George Gray Urges American Men to Enlist Wilmington, Pel..
