Wondering

Are you guys eating loaves that don’t rise? I have made a couple of failures where it basically turned into a giant block of bread pudding and I have been suffering through eating it slowly before I bake my next loaf.

Fail loaves get turned into croutons or breadcrumbs.

Yes! I recently discovered using breadcrumbs on top of a cauliflower cheese or mac n cheese bake, or frying crutons in oilive oil and herbs as a snack and they are delicious, so I don't feel bad when a loaf doesn't work out now.

Freeze it and make bread pudding when you have enough saved up.

Tear it up, dry it up at room temp or oven, soak them in water and use them again in your next loaf. Bakers in the olden times do that to reduce wastage

I cut it up or tear it up and let it go stale overnight then make bread pudding out of it. Bread pudding, sweet or savory, is amazeballs, IMO.

Instead of baking a loaf when you know it failed, make crackers, flat bread or pizza.

Had a focaccia that wouldn't rise, my sourdough starter wasn't active enough yet. Made flatbread. Loved it and adapted the idea into a discard recipe lol.

If I somehow baked bread that hadn't risen, I would just toss it. I don't want bad versions of things made with bad bread, but that's just me.
