What to do with your hard bread (apart from the French toast known to all and which does not work very well with too hard bread)? A beggar or Bedelman! The original recipe is sweet but you can very well make a salty variant! Doable with any old bread (as long as it's not "bleached" by bakers !!)
So here is "my" Bedelman recipe (beggar in French) and illustrated with quantities please!
You need:
- a large bowl, 1 dish, a wooden spatula or large fork
- dry bread (you can mix different kinds)
- milk
- sugar
- fruits (avoid acidic or poorly cooked fruits like strawberries ...)
- optional: raisins, cinnamon, eggs (some prefer without) and other sweet condiments ...
Steps:
1) Store enough (very) dry bread to make a bowl, there I have bread that is 3 weeks old! As long as it is not moldy it is usable!
2) Soften and knead well with milk, cut the bread too dry into slices to make things easier, in this case, I put a little less than 2L (depends on the humidity of the bread). Add the milk as the bread softens
3) Once the molasses is fairly homogeneous: add sugar (the dose depends on your tastes), raisins, cinnamon ... or any other sweet condiment that you like (coconut, almonds, alcohol. ..). I put a little honey this time and 3 eggs.
Let the molasses sit for about 20 minutes (so that the flavors mix well). You can prepare the fruit during this period.
I made 2 dishes with 2 fruits:
- sweet apples and cinnamon
- canned pears in wine
The trick is to add the fruit only to the dish with a common base: like this you can make several bedelman for the same basic preparation (since the longest is to knead the hard bread).
You can sprinkle the dish with a little sugar and cinnamon to make it a little crunchier.
4) Put in the oven which will have been preheated (between 180 and 200 ° C):
Cook until you get a fairly compact dough.
5) Result after one hour of cooking (less if only 1 dish obviously):
On the left the apples, on the right the pears.
6) And after 4 days, here is what remains:
It keeps a good week in the fridge (see more it has never held so well with me!)
Eat both hot and cold ...
Personally I think it's like a quiche: better cold the next day.
Here you know all the secrets of a successful Bedelman by Masterchef Christophe
One last thing: it is possible, I have already tested, to replace all the sweet ingredients with salty ingredients (bacon, ham, spices, zucchini, tomatoes ...) and we get ... a salty Bedelman that looks like a savory cake in terms of taste!
At your stove!

As soon as I started reading this topic, it was so appetizing that I couldn't help licking my computer screen! slurp.
I promise, as soon as I have a moment I start. In addition, considering all the hard bread that I am given for my horses, my hens and my rabbits, I will be able to make beggars ...

Here is my 2nd batch!
Variation: apple, cinnamon, raisins, gingerbread (about 1/3 in the basic mixture, hence the slightly darker color) ...

Well glad you showed it to you.
You will see, it is in addition, a very good dessert provided you are not looking at the eh aspect (and then good should not be abused under penalty of some heaviness ... digestive) ...
