How To Revive Stale Bread

[Aaron-]

I just wet it and put it uncovered right onto the rack in a 350°F preheated oven for 5-7 mins. Turns out great!

Just water the bread, bury it and wait like a month and you'll start to see your bread tree sprouting

Wow! So many unnecessary negative comments when test kitchen is giving viewers like me such useful tips that I appreciate 👏🏻👏🏻

[victorbenner]

This is a great tip. I've noticed horst brrsd does get to hard to fast sometimes. Great save, thanks 😊

[HellosunshineUSA]

I do that and throw it in the air fryer for 4-5 minutes, comes out great

[barbzoellner]

Followed the directions and it was perfect. Thank you Test Kitchen

Stale bread makes amazing Garlic Toast, (not Bread) also I 💕 French toast with stale bread. Mmmmm so good.

I live in Louisiana; if you don’t refrigerate your bread it’ll be moldy in 2 days. We don’t get stale we just get mold.

Easier way - wrap bread well in paper towel. Put in microwave for 15-20 seconds. Done!
If very stale bread you can very lightly sprinkle with a little water before wrapping and nuking it.

I tried it on pita bread, it works amazing 🤩

At last! I feel smart! Lol.
I've been doing this for years.

Should I wipe off the thick mold first? Also, how do I patch the holes that were eaten by mice? Thanks!😉

[ArmoredStone]

I do this with snything bready and hard. Muffins from Costco are my usuals lol. They come to me like rocks, but run a splash of water ovet them and microwave them for a few seconds and they're just a tasty sponge 😍

If it just needs to be crisped up, 2-5 minutes in the owen at 200C does the trick.

[gailaltschwager]

Thank you! I rarely have stale bread, but I'll try this

[Dad_Lyon]

Or just a wet paper towel in the microwave. Feel free to broil.

[marktaylor]

I keep telling the ones that I am staying with, don't throw it away it's food! ! !

Microwaving for 15 seconds works almost as well.

...or just cut off how much you want to eat and pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds
