Six delicious recipes to use up stale bread

The next best thing after sliced bread is stale bread. Or that's what you might think after you’ve tried my leftover loaf recipes. I won't ask you to turn it into a toastie or fry it for French toast — these are much more exciting than that — though I do have a recipe for simple pangrattato and pasta. My favourite has to be the summer pudding — though this is not my recipe but my mum's, who would bring it out as a treat after Sunday lunch when I lived at home. She knows the recipe by heart. Brown bread ice cream is savoury and sweet, crunchy and smooth. I first tried it at the brilliant restaurant Brat in east London when it opened.
