Can I eat 10 day old bread?

Bread. It might get stale, but bread past its expiration date can be safely eaten. If the bread smells sour or spoiled, though, definitely don't eat it. That being said, bread that's turned a little stale and crunchy makes excellent French toast and croutons, so don't toss it out because it's "too old."

Can bread be too stale for bread pudding?

As long as it's not moldy, bread that has dried out can be reconstituted in thick vegetable soups, pungent salads and comforting, savory bread puddings. ... If your stale bread is too hard to cut easily, douse it with water first.

Can frozen bread be used for bread pudding?

Yes, you can freeze bread pudding, as long as you have not poured any sauce over it. Most bread pudding recipes call for a separate sauce to pour over the top to make the pudding moist and soft. While the sauce is an integral part of the recipe, it will make your frozen bread pudding a soggy mess.

How can you tell when bread pudding is done?

Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes or until the center of the mixture reaches 160 degrees F when measured with a food thermometer. At this temperature, a metal knife inserted near the center of the pudding comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.

Should I leave bread out overnight for stuffing?

Drying the bread before making the stuffing is crucial for texture and flavor. If you plan ahead, you can simply leave the bread cubes out on the counter for a few days to become stale. Otherwise, spread them out on baking sheets and dry in a 300-degree oven for 30 to 60 minutes.

How do you make bread stale quickly?

To stale lots of bread slices, position oven racks close together, then place a baking sheet in between them and stand up the slices of bread between the rungs. Warm the oven to 300 degrees and keep a close eye on the slices until they dry and slightly toast. Then the bread is ready to be cut into cubes or used as is.

Can bread be too stale for stuffing?

While you can use almost any bread — cornbread, bagels, or even frozen waffles — to make stuffing, it needs to be dried or “staled” first. Any attempts to make stuffing with soft, fresh baked bread will result in a bread soup with a soggy texture. Follow this tip: Stale, dried-out bread makes the best stuffing.

How do you fix dry stuffing?

If you made your stuffing as dry as a desert, don't panic! Melt a little bit of butter in a sauce pot with some stock and add a couple of ladles of it to the dried stuffing. Toss it all together and let it soak. Cover to keep it warm until ready to serve.

What can you add to stuffing if too salty?

Water to the Rescue! Rescue too-salty soups and sauces by adding a bit of water, sodium-free broth, or other liquid. Start with a small amount; then, taste the results; and add more until you get it right. You might need to add more solid foods to get the soup or sauce back to the desired consistency.

Why is my stuffing mushy?

If the stuffing came out too wet and soggy (aka bread soup!) try not to over mix it, otherwise it'll turn into mush. Curtis Stone says to pour it on a large sheet tray and spread it out. Bake it on high heat to crisp it up, but make sure it doesn't burn.

Do you put egg in stuffing?
