Old milk in bread?
Just came back from the holiday break an saw we left some milk in the fridge before leaving. It's been over two weeks. It doesn't smell bad just from the carton... I had a thought maybe if I used it in a bread it would be fine? Since it's baked in the end. Or just toss it to be safe? Has anyone tried doing this?

this is a good idea for any milk. Bring the milk up to around 185F - 190F for about 5 or 10 minutes. Cover and let cool. When it is around 110F make your bread.
If you heat this milk,as old as it is, it may curdle. You can try this and then strain out the curds,add a little salt and use it as a cheese spread.
Just add it, as is, to any baked product. If it is acidic, add a little baking soda for lift. Sour milk is often used in all kinds of baked goods-cakes,breads, muffins,etc.
