When it's cold and you're desperately looking for any reason to stay in bed... this will get you out (just long enough for you to snag yourself a slice and hop right back in... but that didn't come from me). More importantly, the solution for the mounds of canned fruit crammed in the back of your store cupboard; accumulated over the years of Christmas dinners, French toast topping supplies and pantry stocking.
Stale-Bread Summer Panzanella
Stale Bread à la Trentina
Casually browsing through my newsfeed this morning, as one does, when I happened across Tasting' Table's Jonathan Sawyer's Strangolopreti alla Trentina, titled, Jonathan Sawyer's Oozy Cheese Dumplings. Stunning cinematography, beautiful ingredients, straight forward, honest, and that jazz (meant to shazam that...). Believe it or not (please don't judge me) that was not what sold me. It was about a third of the way through the video when he whips a baguette out of nowhere, cracks it in half across his knee, and while grating it speaks the line "it's one of those dishes where yesterday's treasures become today's treasures". Yup. Sold.
