Stale bread is NOT heavier than fresh bread. Stale bread is caused by age, light, and lack of moisture, none of which contribute to the bread's weight; if anything, they will cause the bread to lose weight, thanks to the loss of moisture. Even when bread gets moldy, it does not gain weight, since the molds consume the ingredients. My guess is that the asker is confusing weight with the hard feel of stale bread, which, BTW, is used in many recipes, including bread pudding, onion soup, etc. In other words, "stale" does not mean "bad".
