Chef’s Secret

Stale bread makes excellent croutons or breadcrumbs. To revive slightly dry bread, lightly mist with water and warm in an oven.

Substitutions

Best Match

Crackers

N/A

For crunch and as a base for spreads/toppings when bread isn't available or desired.

Tortillas/Wraps

1:1 (as a wrap)

Flexible flatbreads for sandwiches or to scoop food, different texture.

Rice Cakes

N/A

Gluten-free alternative for a crunchy base, very mild flavor.

Large Lettuce Leaves

Low-carb and gluten-free option for wraps or cups, very different texture.

Buying Guide

Consider whole grain for fiber, check ingredients for added sugars/preservatives. Sourdough offers unique flavor and digestibility.
