This document discusses ways to creatively reuse bread. It presents ideas to transform tough or stale bread into pizza, nuts, a specialty dish called "Katsoura," and breadcrumbs for soup. For inedible bread, the document shows how to make decorative ornaments and art pieces by mixing breadcrumbs with glue and painting them. The conclusion emphasizes giving value to bread and finding uses for leftovers rather than wasting them.

1. A Crash Course on Creativity
FRAMING AND REFRAMING
-LOOK AT BREAD IN A DIFFERENT WAY-

2. BREAD CAN BE PERCEIVED IN MANY WAYS…….
It is found almost everywhere and
served/accompanied with almost everything. It
has become such a common food type or we
may have so much of it that we forget its true
value and may end up throwing pieces of it into
the rubbish can!
BUT THERE’S MORE TO THAT WHICH WE
SHOULDN’T FORGET ….

3. BREAD CAN BE PERCEIVED IN MANY WAYS….(2)
BREAD has been the basis of our Christian/Orthodox
religion whereby:
 we have Holy Communion with it
 we bake it and take it to church so as to bless our deceased ones
at their memorials
BREAD has been the basis of our parents’ generation who:
 grew up in poverty and ate it with sugar to fill up their stomachs
 Used it to create sandwiches for us to take to school and slowly
grow up into adults

4. FOR US CYPRIOT HOME-MADE TRADITIONAL
BREAD CAN’T BE EXCLUDED FROM ANY EVENT

5. IT’S A MUST TO ENJOY IT WITH OLIVE OIL AND
SUGAR!!

6. OTHER USES OF BREAD ….
 Therefore bread should not be thrown out especially in these times of
Financial Crisis. There are poor families who would do anything to have
just a piece of it to feed their children.
There are two types of left-over bread:
(1) that which has become very tough and not so soft when it is firstly
bought or freshly baked
AND
(2) that which has cannot be eaten.
SINCE we grew up giving great value to bread, and not underestimating it
our team decided to re-use any left-over bread in several delicious,
edible, and creative ways!

7. TOUGH AND NOT SO SOFT BREAD CAN BE
TRANSPOSED AS BELOW:
 BEFORE  AFTER
Making pizza has never been so easy! Plain bread can be used in place of
dough! And it’s equally delicious and appetizing!

8. TOUGH AND NOT SO SOFT BREAD CAN BE
TRANSPOSED AS BELOW:
 BEFORE  AFTER
Recipe for Nuts!
We cut the bread in slices, we sprinkle a slice with a little water and then in the
oven for 1 hour in 180 Celsius.

9. TOUGH AND NOT SO SOFT BREAD CAN BE
TRANSPOSED AS BELOW:
 BEFORE  AFTER
Special Recipe from our grandmother: We named it Katsoura!
We cut the bread in slices, we sprinkle a slice with a little water, and we fry it in
hot olive oil for 3 minutes. Then we apply some sugar and cinnamon on the slice
and it's ready to be eaten

10. TOUGH AND NOT SO SOFT BREAD CAN BE
TRANSPOSED AS BELOW:
 BEFORE  AFTER
Soup with bread!!
Make your own soup and put the tough bread instead in small pieces.

11. INEDIBLE BREAD CAN BE TRANSPOSED AS
BELOW
 Inedible bread, oddly
enough, can be used
for creating ornaments
and decorative pieces.
This is what our team
has envisioned. Just
by using the bread
crumb and wood glue,
you can create
whatever your heart
desires!

12. FIRST THINGS FIRST:
We took our inedible bread and cut the bottom
part to create a hole. Then we scooped out the
crumb.

13. GETTING BUSY, “BREAD STYLE”
We layered the crumbs to dry and
placed the hollowed loaf of bread to
dry out. As you guessed it, we left
nothing go to waste!

14. A HAND OF HELP: TEAM KNEADING
Using our bread crumbs and plain wood glue, we
kneaded them into a moldable dough that was
going into creating our bread artifacts.

15. OUR TEAM IN ACTION! BUSY AREN’T WE?

16. HUMBLE YET CLASSY BREAD BOWL:
In the meantime, the bread was ready and we let
it cool. Then, we sprayed it with a varnish, so it
gets a nice glossy shine and so it will preserve in
time.

17. SURPRISINGLY, WE WERE MORE CREATIVE AND
SKILLFUL THAN WE EVER IMAGINED! GO
CREATIVITY!

18. SOON AFTER, THE PAINTING BEGUN!

19. WE USED PLAIN ACRYLIC PAINTS.

20. CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S MADE OF BREAD!

21. CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S MADE OF BREAD!

22. SMALL PAINTINGS FROM BREAD

23. FUTURE I-PHONE 6

24. DECORATION FLOWERS

25. RINGS AND BRACELETS FOR BLOOD ID

26. CONCLUSION: FINAL WORDS
The value of bread should not be underestimated
or taken for granted. It has been, is, and will always
be a basic necessity for past, present and future
generations. It doesn’t mean that because it is
easily accessible and found anywhere that we can
easily throw out any leftovers. Instead, there are
plenty of ways to transform it into something
delicious as an evening snack or even a preserved
decoration in our homes or for charity sales-
something which our team tried hard to emphasize.
Whatever the result, no piece of bread should
go to waste for any reason!
