1. Crumble
When it comes to adding a little texture to a dish of rhubarb or red berries, few things are better than a crumble topping. The recipe is easy: equal measures of flour, sugar, butter (straight from the fridge) and powdered almonds. However, half of this final ingredient and half of the flour can be replaced with crumbs from stale bread that has been toasted in the oven. If the bread has reached the point where it is hard and dry, it won't even need to be toasted. Last but not least, don't worry if the leftover bread is wholegrain or has inclusions like nuts or dried fruit, these will only make your crumble all the more tasty.
