Hard bread

Even the freshest loaf of bread gradually becomes dry and hard. And we have a word for that: stale. But is there anything you can do to soften stale bread?

It’s happened to all of us. You splurge on that $6 artisan baguette and can only eat half of it. You wrap up the leftovers hoping for the best, only to discover the next morning that the baguette has turned hard as a rock. Don’t toss it just yet! Your bread can still be saved,

To soften a stale baguette, dampen it with warm water and then toast it in a 350 F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. You can refresh other types of bread similarly.

The perfect accompaniment to your meal. Nothing beats homemade, from-scratch, freshly baked rolls.
