Bread – Using leftovers

Cut the not-too-stale bread into cubes and roughly chop them in a food processor. Heat the milk in a saucepan and pour it over the breadcrumbs. Let it stand for a few minutes, then lightly beat in the eggs and knead in the flour. Grate the root vegetables and knead them into the mixture with the other spices or herbs. Let it stand for a few more minutes – the mixture will firm up. The consistency of the dough depends on the moisture content of the bread; add a little more flour if necessary. Form the semi-firm dough into palm-sized, flat patties and coat them in breadcrumbs. Fry on both sides in a non-stick pan over medium heat in oil. Serve with salads or vegetables. Tip: I made half of the portion as a side dish to white sausage and salad – because I didn’t have any pretzels at home. It tasted absolutely delicious! You can certainly use up stale rolls or pretzels in this way, too.
