My friend Mark once turned stale bread into pizza.

Grandma had a similar trick with stale bread. She would turn it into a sweet pudding by soaking it in milk and eggs. We looked forward to it every week because it tasted so good. Her whole thing was about not wasting food ever. Mark's pizza reminds me of that kind of kitchen cleverness. Finding new uses for old ingredients is just smart cooking.

Exactly, it's that old school mindset of making something from nothing. My grandma did the same with leftover rice, turned it into this crispy fried snack. It wasn't about being fancy, it was just practical. That cleverness with food is a lost art for a lot of people now. Seeing someone use stale bread for pizza crust is just a modern version of the same smart, no waste cooking.

Stale bread? How does that even work as pizza?
