Leftover buns
For some reason I have been finding myself with lots of leftover buns lately. Hot dog, hamburger, sub buns -- we're using about half of what I buy and the rest is going uneaten. Must be mismatched numbers of eaters and buns is all I can think. I don't like freezing them because they are never as good after they thaw. Besides feeding the ducks (and they should really eat cracked corn instead) I came up with a few uses for all my leftover buns. What do you do with yours?
Fresh bread crumbs -- just throw the bread/bun into the food processor and give a whirl. Place the fresh crumbs in a freezer bag and put them in the freezer until you make a meatloaf or meatballs.
Toasted bread crumbs -- put the bread in a 300 degree oven until it's completely dry and then do the same as you would with fresh crumbs.
Make a delicious bread pudding for dessert.

Sub buns can be frozen. Split them first, replace in bag, then double-bag and freeze. Next time you have pasta, defrost them, and add butter & garlic and bake at 400 until toasty brown. Delicious garlic bread!
I, too, use them for garlic bread. I also use them for sandwiches. It's actually something nice to have for a change from sliced bread. I am packing 9 lunches per week now, so I'm not having trouble using up bread, because my younger daughter pretty much wants a sandwich of some sort each day.
We also use them for garlic bread, and any sandwiches during the week. Hubby doesn't mind using any kind of buns for his sandwiches.
I also agree with the Garlic Bread. I also cut them in pieces and make home made herb crutons. Just toss with a little oil and your favorite herb mix.
Thanks, ladies. I really never thought of garlic bread. I almost never serve it but I bet my family would be thrilled!
Ooh and croutons. Yum!
Bread crumbs, croutons, bread pudding, meatball sandwiches, French toast... But usually bread crumbs.
