How to Make Appalachian Gravy Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for an extra crispy experience (optional).
  2. Tear or cut leftover bread (rolls, biscuits, or bread heels) into bite-sized pieces. Aim for about 4 cups of torn bread.
  3. Arrange the bread pieces on an oven-safe plate or baking dish.
  4. Generously pour your favorite leftover gravy over the bread, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Start with about 2 cups and add more if needed.
  5. Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper generously over the top (about 1/4 teaspoon or to taste).
  6. (Optional) For extra crispy bread, bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through and slightly browned.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
