Drying bread

#Post
1

I love using my dehydrator and I use it for drying fruit, vegetables, and even meat and fish.
I often dry bread, broken into small pieces, great to add to stews and soups (adds a lovely texture/fibre …
But sometimes the bread has developed mould, and I’d love to know if that’s still safe to dry and use – or if there’s a way to neutralise that, so it’s safe to use?
Does anyone have any helpful ideas or hints?

I would not use it if it has mould. The bread may not be dry enough which is why it develops mould. I have never used a dehydrator for have done it in a low oven. I would suggest to just make sure, oven dry it for half an hour after it comes out of the dehydrator.

No. Mould is toxic. Throw it away.

Not all bread moulds are toxic ...problem is knowing which is & which isn't.
I'm in the bin it camp.

I dry bread in the oven, cut it up how you want it, keep it in the freezer, and when you have enough put it in a single layer on the oven tray in a low oven after you have finished cooking something else, shake it up a few times and leave it in the oven to keep drying when you turn it off. Id throw the mouldy stuff out, it must have been reasonably damp when you thought it was dry.

Unless it's on certain types of cheese, there's no way I'd be eating bread or fruit with mould on it.
