Gruel Bread to use up leftovers

Use this awesome recipe for Gruel Bread to use up leftovers.

See orignial post here:

Then I made this Gruel Bread recipe with the rice and vegetables leftover from yesterday. I hate trying to find ways to use up leftover vegetables, they always end up sitting in the fridge until I compost them. So i'm very happy to find this great recipe for leftovers.
I must keep this in mind next time I have some leftover vegetables, I could even freeze them and use them from there.

I made about half the recipe, for a couple of reasons, that's how much rice I had and it had to fit into my breadmaker. The recipe doesn't say anything about yeast so I added 3 teaspoons. I didn't leave the dough overnight and I added about 1/4 cup of water.

This makes a lovely soft loaf.

Breadmaker Instructions: Use whole grain setting, medium, 2.5lb. loaf.

Another way to use up leftover bread as it is getting stale, soak it in some sort of liquid like leftover coffee and add to your bread recipe. There's a recipe in the vegetarian epicure like this, I think it's called Peasant Bread.
