Have you bought a loaf of bread but not wrapped it in a plastic bag? In this situation, the product can quickly become stale.

It is not at all necessary to throw it in the trash or use it for crackers.

You can restore the softness of bread by using a few tricks.

Microwave

This method is considered the most efficient, it gives long-lasting and effective results. You need to wet a paper towel in water, completely cover the bread with the material. Do not forget to squeeze out as much water as possible.

The loaf must be wrapped tightly in a towel. Then place the product in the microwave and turn on the heating for ten seconds.

Take out the bread, remove the towel and feel free to serve it, because the dried slices will become soft again.

Oven

This is another way to soften the bread. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. Cover the loaf with aluminum foil of the appropriate size.

Its surface should be completely covered. Put the bread in a preheated oven for twenty minutes. If we are talking about a small bun, five minutes will be enough.

When the specified time has passed, take out the baked goods and leave them to cool without removing the foil.

Celery Method

The option is quite unusual, but really effective. It is usually used to moisten sliced bread. The product will need to be left overnight, so be patient.

The celery needs to be inserted into a bread bag. Then wrap everything well. Put the bread in the refrigerator, leave it overnight. In the morning, take the celery out of the bag, which will have time to give moisture to the baked goods, making them soft and tasty!
