Make my sliced loaf lovely

[laughoutquiet]

I'm on a food shopping self ban right now. I'm going to make a cod and chorizo stew tomorrow night and normally I'd nip to the supermarket to get a baguette to have with it --plus a host of other stuff hence the self ban.

I do have a standard white sliced loaf that needs using. What can I do to make it a little nicer/different?

Thanks

Have you got flour, yeast and olive oil? Because you could make a fantastic ciabatta which would go beautifully with your dish.

I know that doesn’t answer the question, exactly, but still...

Otherwise I’d probably make garlic bread with the sliced white or something akin to bruschetta.

If you don’t want the loaf to go to waste you can freeze it.

Croutons to sit ontop of the stew?
Or a garlicky herby crumb to sprinkle ontop?

Or yes, make some quick carbs stuff - flatbreads (Greek yoghurt, SR flour and baking powder, dry fried), or some savoury scones to have like a cobbler, or some dumplings (can be made with butter if no suet).

Thanks. I bake bread quite a lot but I'm trying to have a "use up" couple of weeks!

Garlic bread may work, or maybe croutons?

@Ninkanink the loaf has come out the freezer

@DancesWithDaffodils cross post with the croutons!

Yes croutons are always yummy!

Make breadcrumbs and toast/fry/bake with lemon zest, herbs, parmesan to sprinkle on top.

@MirandaMarple nice!

@laughoutquiet what did you end up doing with it and was it good?

@Ninkanink the whole meal was a huge success (always satisfying!) I did Parmesan croutons on the top.

Yay! It did sound fantastic, and now I fancy cod and chorizo stew again!

@Ninkanink I did something similar to this

Thank you! I’m definitely putting it on the menu this coming week or next.
