How to Freshen Stale Bread

Bread can go stale pretty quickly if you forget about it. But don't throw it away. With just a little effort, you can freshen it up and it will be as good as new.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Stale bread
• Water
• Aluminum foil
• Oven

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

2. Brush the top of the loaf with a little water. You can use a basting brush or even your fingers.

3. Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and seal the creases. The foil will keep the bread from getting browned and dried out.

4. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

5. Remove foil and wrap the bread in a napkin or towel to keep it warm until serving.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider using stale bread for making French toast. Dry bread really soaks the egg and milk mixture up and makes great French toast.
• Don't leave it in the oven too long, or the crusts will get tough.
