12 oz of raw pastry would make 4 large or 6 small croissants.

Well, it all depends on how you measure a cup. Depending on your cooking techniques it is the amount of bread that can be squished into a measuring cup. Mind you that if you measure in this way the bread will turn into a ball of dough. Another way you measure it is cutting/ripping the bread into chunks and gently dropping them in the cup. What you have to remember is that each method will get you a different amount of bread in the finished product. If you prefer bread pudding that is a bit chunkier then you can go with the first method, bread pudding with less bread will be using the second method.

pain, pronounced "pan."
Bread is 'pain' (masculine noun) in French.

It is a drier type of bread and there for the moister in it is less to begin with.

vous aimez beaucoup le pain français

C'est du pain rassis.

Four ingredients are used to make bread: flour, water, yeast, and salt. This ends up in 'baguettes' or 'pains', the varieties the French would accept as 'French bread'. These recipes do not contain any preservative or added fats, as you may find in industrial breads.

I'm sorry, I think you can't.

That's why French people invented French toast, which is in French "Pain perdu" (=lost bread) : to do something with their "old" bread instead of throwing it.

Sorry ;)

Une baguette (feminine noun) is the French name for a French bread stick.

I say yes. I have before and I'm peachy keen. However, my mother says that gross and that I shouldn't do it. So I guess it really depends on how squeamish you are or how broke you are. Personally I don't see the big deal. If you cut the mold off and it's not stale you have removed the issue. If you are squeamish and a hypochondriac then don't do it. If you get sick, I'm sorry. Don't ask people questions concerning your health online :). But I'm about 99% sure you'll be fine.

French bread is an alternative name for a baguette, it is in a long thin shape for the sole purpose of filling in ingredients, for example a hot dog bun is in a long shape to place frankfurter inside. Also, the name baguette means wand or baton, which suggests it's long thin shape.

No, you don't even use F for french when you write. Only names and places are capitalized.

It would be about 1/4 of a teaspoon.

There is a discussion about weight, volume, and salt here:

I cook mine for 18-20 mins at 325 in my toaster oven, that seems adequet. Cooking for the entire 35 mins like suggested ends with a brown smoking mess.
