Comments: What to do with bread going stale? When we’re cruising, we always seem to have left-over bread. I discovered this recipe several years ago, and bake it frequently while we’re on the boat. I usually use rum, and add the 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. This is tasty, and it makes the boat smell wonderful while it is baking.
