Leftover bread -- what a concept! Here with a tip for you. I like to great gourmet breads in the market, but occasionally I have some leftover after a great meal. It doesn't always keep well for the next day, but I hate to waste it. Refrigeration will make the bread stale after only a few hours, but freezing it will trap the moisture and maintain the fresh quality. Just defrost on the counter to use. Sometimes I slice the bread or cube it, brush it with butter or olive oil, and spread it on a sheet pan. Bake at 450° for about 8 minutes, until golden. Cool, then store in a zipperbag. Use the smaller bits as croutons, the larger ones can be topped with tomatoes or spreads for bruschetta.
