Talk about your extra thick crust
Tuscan bread.
Can you say, "Crusty enough you could break a tooth on it?"
This begs to be recycled into something a little less dentally dangerous. Any ideas?

About Me
- Name: Lynn
I cook, bake, eat chocolate, and sneak out to Starbucks from northern California, where I live with my family. I wrote a book, Queen of the Castle: 52 Weeks of Encouragement for the Uninspired, Domestically Challenged or Just Plain Tired Homemaker, because I think running a home and loving your family is one of the most important jobs in the world. And some of us? Could use a little help.

How about homemade bread crumbs? Or cut it into small crostini's and top with your favorite olive oil, tomatoes and cheese for brushetta
~Mrs. M
Good ideas, Mrs. M. Bruschetta sounds yummy.
Hi Lynn!
Long time no comment. How are you going. some of these recent recipes look fantastic. I am very impressed with your tomato crop too! what a bounty. They will be so appreciated come your winter. Of course, we are heading into Summer and love our tomatoes with salads and barbecues.
So far as this Tuscan Bread, I'm not much help but Mrs M's idea does sound delicious!
LOL to the tooth-breaking. What about a panzanella - is that the right word? A bread salad? As I recall, you want a nice crusty bread so you still get a little texture and it doesn't all turn to mush once the dressing soaks in. Let us know how you redeem this rock!
I think it would work great for bread crumbs. But I have also made croutons with bread like that. A little oil and spices, and toast it in the oven and it will make creat croutons for a salad.
Doorstop? Football practice? Beaning the husband when he makes inappropriate comments about dinner?
Panzanella (sp?)? It's an italian bread salad. I don't think I'd make croutons as it will be even harder.
Bummer about the bread Lynn!

I know the feeling :-) When my bread turn out not what I expected, I usually make meatloaf by soaking it in milk and mixing with ground meat, chicken or turkey...
Kelly, a bread salad sounds tasty :) Thanks for the idea.
Croutons -- another good suggestion, Lynn. Thanks.
french toast or bread pudding is usually what we end up when we are in the same predicament. good luck!
Carpoolqueen, I did think about the doorstop option. But the football practice and husband-beaning potential had not crossed my mind. You get extra creativity points for those :)
Ingrid, I did come across a bread salad recipe that looks interesting: at www.wildyeastblog.com, from a July 9, 2007 post. I'll let you know if I try it. I know I've made bread salad at least once before, but can't remember much about it, how I made it or where I got the recipe. It does sound like a great option for this particular loaf of bread ;)
I had the same ideas as Teresa...French toast or bread pudding. Or maybe stuffing for a roast chicken?
A huge soup bowl!
Teresa, French toast and bread pudding both sound like good ideas :) Yum, now I'm hungry.
Juliana -- meat loaf; now there's an intriguing idea! I'd never thought of that, but what a great use for bread that doesn't turn out as edible as we had hoped.
Faith and Sherri -- Stuffing! A huge soup bowl! Even more great ideas! I believe I will have to make some more tough-as-nails bread because there are so many great ideas to try :)
