Reviving Stale Bread: A Boiling Water Trick That Will Change the Way You Cook!

1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 300°F (150°C). This is the perfect temperature to gently warm the bread without toasting it too much.
2. Prepare the Bread: Take your stale bread and quickly run it under tap water just enough to dampen the crust. You don’t want to soak it; just a quick splash is all it needs.
3. The Boiling Water: Meanwhile, place a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, place the damp bread directly on the oven rack above the pot. Close the oven door to trap the steam.
4. Bake with Steam: Let the bread warm in the oven for about 5-10 minutes. The steam will penetrate the bread and revive its soft, fluffy texture.
5. Enjoy Your Like-New Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and enjoy it as if it were fresh from the bakery. It’s perfect for everything from sandwiches to serving alongside dinner.
