I have never heard of or have I put bread into lasagna. When I read your
question, my first thought was that people broke up the bread to help soak
up the sauce rather than thicken the sauce before putting together the
lasagna. I see no other purpose for the bread. I prefer to thicken my
sauce and save the bread to use as a side of garlic bread.

Why not ask them? Up until I began eating low carb, I have been eating
lasagna for years, but I never heard of making it with dried sliced
bread. Next time you eat lasagna with sliced bread in it, if the person
who made it is available, ask.

Sad. Very sad. You need new sources for lasagna recipes.

I have to agree. Pepperoni has no place in lasagna, nor does bread. I've
had lasagna made with zucchini and with eggplant (known as eggplant parm)
but never bread and never pepperoni.

Maybe the OP is thinking of a form of sliced italian bread with a sauce and
cheese, pepperoni sausage and mistaking it for "lasagna"? Um, that would be
American pizza?

I think I'm gonna put pepperoni in my next lasagna, just to [censored] people

I don't know anything about bread in lasagne, but pepperoni can be a
wonderful addition to a red sauce when diced small. When I have done so,
it was the only meat in the sauce. I enjoy the spiciness of it.

Most restaurants around here serve lasagna with pepperoni. I always have to
ask to leave the pepperoni off mine. I can't imagine anyone putting slices
of bread in lasagna. As I said in my earlier reply, my first thought was
broken up to use as a sauce thickener, rather than waiting for the sauce to
reduce further. I prefer my bread on the side in the form of garlic bread.

I'm picturing heartburn. Hate pepperoni pizza, with all those little
greasy pepperoni cups, get me the Tums. I for sure would not like
that in lasagna, but to each their own. I'm still completely baffled by
the bread thing.

Heartburn City for me even using Italian sausage in lasagna. I stay away
from Pepperoni - the taste goes on and on and on.

This bivalve-lasagna thingie has been descussed here to death... where
were you, high on dago red. It's been pretty much agreed by all that
clams or mussels baked in lasagna would become tougher'n shoe
leather... same with shrimp or lobster. I think you're going to have
to settle for canned tuna... lasagna-tetrazinni!

People put Italian sausage in lasagna. Pepperoni is an Italian sausage.
I've never had it, or even thought about it, but it sounds worth a try.

I'm guessing that if you grate (or better yet dice) them, no one will
know the difference.
