Instructions
Step 1
Examine the stale piece. If mold has appeared on it, then it is useless to do anything, it is better to just throw out such bread. Mold forms if a loaf or a loaf has been left without air for a long time. Not finding a hopeless greenish coating, determine how stale the bread is.
Step 2
If the bread is not too stale, wrap it in a wet canvas. The canvas should be real, linen, as rough as possible. Place the bundle in a preheated oven and keep it at about 100 ° C for 3-5 minutes. If there is no canvas, you can slightly wet the wrapping paper, or even simply sprinkle the piece with water on all sides.
Step 3
It is very good if there is a microwave. In this case, it is better to cut the bread into pieces and sprinkle lightly with water. Place it in a plastic container and microwave for 30 seconds. This method should not be used if it is not possible to divide the stale loaf into slices.
Step 4
Small pieces can be freshened up with freshly boiled potatoes. Drain and place the slices of bread in a saucepan. Close for 2-3 minutes, then take out the bread and continue to do with the potatoes what you were going to do.
Step 5
There is another way for sliced bread. Place the pieces in a colander and cover. Pour about half of the water into a large saucepan. Put it on fire and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame, place a colander in a saucepan and let sit for a few minutes.
Step 6
You can refresh heavily stale bread in a kind of "water bath". Place a block of wood in a large saucepan and fill it with water. There should be enough water so that a small saucepan in which you need to put the bread rises freely. It can be whole or sliced. Cover the entire structure with a lid. Make a small fire and heat until you smell fresh bread. You can also use a double boiler.
