It’s happened to each of us at least on one occasion, you buy a loaf of bread only to find that it has gone stale. What do you do? Throw it out? Dry it enough to make breadcrumbs?
If you happen to find yourself with stale bread and you don’t can’t go out for a fresh loaf, here’s how to make your stale bread fresh again. These methods work for bread that is dry rather than moldy.
For an unsliced loaf of bread
Open the tap and run your bread under the tap. The goal here is to wet the crust without making the inside of your bread wet.
Place the wet loaf of bread in the oven at 150 degrees Celsius. This process will cause the water in the bread to steam up.

Once your bread has a crunchy crust and soft interior, it’s ready to be eaten.
For sliced bread
Take paper towels. Make them wet and wrap them around your bread. Place the slices in the microwave for about 10 seconds and you will have softened bread.
