101 uses for leftover challah

Gold Member Joined: Aug 23 2011 Posts: 1581

I almost always have leftover challah each Shabbos and I am looking for ways to repurpose my leftovers.
Any ideas or recipes would be much appreciated!

Here is what I thought of so far:

1. Homemade panko breadcrumbs (process leftover challah in the food processer)
2. French Toast (only works if the leftover challah is whole slices)
3. Stuffing for Chicken/Turkey

Any other ideas?

Theres a recipe around that uses leftover challah to make cinnamon buns. You wet the challah to make it doughy. Don't have the exact recipe. Good luck!

Like french toast, but break the challah into bite size pieces.

challah will not turn into panko. it will be challah bread crumbs.

Can bread crumbs get moldy? Should I bake it again and let it get really dry before processing it?

I dampen the challah and use in tuna patties and meatloaf.

I make them into bread crumbs - toast them first to make them dry, and then blend them. I've gotten compliments on my breaded chicken cutlets - they wanted to know what type of crumbs I use!

I also use it for breadcrumbs. I don't toast it first, I just let it get a bit dry then grate it in the food processor. I keep them in a bag in the freezer to prevent them getting mouldy and use as needed.

How do you make good fine bread crumbs without food processor?

These are things I've done (or at least considered):
-Breadcrumbs
-french toast (assuming it's pareve)
-Challah kugel (sweet or savory)
-garlic bread
-croutons (seasoned or plain)
-kishka or stuffing
-filler in ground meat mixture (hamburgers, meatballs, meatloaf)

I'm often left with the 3rd challah and I use it instead of pastry to make a mock strudel - take out the middle and leave yourself with the crust - fill it with a meat mixture or a salmon and vegetable mixture. Wrap in tin foil and bake in the oven.

Just to remind you (and not to have a discussion) that according to some opinions whatever you make with challah or bread that was originally hamotzi has a din of hamotzi too! (not sure about bread crumbs)
