Homemade baked goods are prepared with the best ingredients, but for some reason this does not allow them to stay fresh for long.

Sometimes, the baked goods you baked at night turn out completely stale the next morning, as if they had been stored for a week or more. Here's what to do to prevent this from happening.

What trick do experienced housewives use to keep their pies, buns and muffins soft longer?

What to do to prevent baked goods from becoming stale

If you heat the baked goods in the oven or microwave, they will become softer, but the effect does not last long. As soon as they cool down, they will become hard again.

Here is a more practical way.

When kneading the dough, housewives add mayonnaise. This preserves the porous and elastic structure of the dough, so that the finished baked goods remain soft longer.

In addition, the mayonnaise makes the dough fluffier.

You can use store-bought or homemade sauce, and to achieve results, one tablespoon is enough.

Housewives say that this trick can be used when preparing dough for any baked goods, and one spoon of mayonnaise will not change the taste of the dish.
