Here’s how you can bring a stale loaf of bread back to life with a very simple trick
No longer shall loafs you are late getting to be good only for ducks; you can rejuvenate them with water
THE way to bring life back to stale bread has been revealed, and all you need is a bit of H2O.
No longer shall loafs you are late getting to be good only for ducks; you can rejuvenate them with water.
The (GHI) has revealed that dousing a stale loaf in water can bring it back to its best in a matter of minutes.
Cher Loh, head tutor at the GHI Cookery School said that running a loaf under the tap for a few seconds, or immersing it completely, can bring it back from the brink.
He added: “This re-hydrates the bread.”
After dousing the loaf you then need to bake it in the oven at 200C or 180C for a fan oven for a few minutes.
Once it’s done, your loaf will be almost as fresh as new.
But this only works once on an unsliced loaf – so it won’t work on your supermarket sliced white.
Additionally there are a few storage hacks that can make your loaf last longer to help you save on waste.
Bakery loaves are best kept in the brown paper bag they come in from the bakery or a bakery section of a supermarket because the paper will absorb any excess moisture, which causes a hard crust to go rubbery.
They are also best kept at room temperature.
Shop-bought loaves meanwhile are best kept in a plastic bag at room temperature – never in the fridge.
Though keeping it chilled will keep mould from growing on the loaf for a longer time, bread will turn stale more quickly in the fridge.
