How to soften stale bread: three effective methods
If you're dealing with stale bread, there are several practical ways to soften it and make it tasty again. SSPDaily has provided solutions to this problem.
Water and the oven
Sprinkle the bread with water and then place it in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 10 minutes. The steam created by the water will help moisten the loaf, making it softer and fresher.
Damp towel
Wrap the loaf in a damp towel and microwave it for 10-20 seconds. The moisture from the towel will penetrate the bread, making it softer. It's important not to use too much water in the towel, as this can make it too soggy.
Apple
Place the stale bread in a plastic bag with a piece of apple. Seal the bag and leave it at room temperature for a few hours. The moisture from the fruit will be absorbed by the bread, helping it to regain its softness.
