Bake for about 40 minutes, or until well-browned in a medium oven.
2. Bread pudding. Make stale bread into crumbs. Add raisins, sugar, spices in whatever proportions please you (or whatevever Granny's recipe dictates). Some people even add lemon rind or vanilla. Mix with milk and beaten egg. Either put the slurry into a well-greased pudding basin and steam for an hour or two, or put it into a well-greased baking dish and bake in a medium oven till well-browned. (About 180C for 45 minutes in my oven.)
These recipes actually taste better than the instructions might suggest. I like them occasionally with either brown bread or malt loaf.

hm. i'm tempted to try those. of course, the obvious problem is that i rarely (... never...) have stale bread in sufficient quantities. how long do you think i could keep a few stale ends of loaves ? not long enough to accumulate enough of them for a pudding, probably. *sigh*
