Question

What should one do if they have no wine or bread for the Shabbat morning Kiddush?

Answer

If he has bread, even if the bread is not whole, he must perform Kiddush over the bread, meaning he should bless 'Hamotzi' over the bread, and he should not eat before blessing 'Hamotzi' over the bread.

If he has no bread at all, he is exempt from Kiddush.
