Nothing tastes like fresh bread or cookies. When the ginger loses its snap and the fresh bread's gone stale, they don't even seem edible. Here are lots of ways to keep your baked goods fresh longer.
Instructions
1. Use the oven to revive crackers and cereals gone soft. Put the contents of the boxes on a cookie sheet or large pan and place them in a 350 degree oven. In about 8 minutes, you'll be able to hear the crunch again.
2. Add an apple half to your containers of cookies or bread--and even cake--to keep it fresh. The moisture in the apple will add moisture to the baked goods, keeping them nice and soft much longer.
3. Freeze cakes and bread with a piece of towel, and that will draw the moisture away from your goodies. Don't use paper--only cloth will do. It doesn't have to be wrapped around the whole thing. Make it a big enough piece to cover half of the top of the item. Your baked treats will come out springy soft.
4. Save dry, hard bread. You can make bread crumbs or croutons, but that isn't your only choice. Here's a simple solution. Spray each roll lightly with water, and put in the oven for 10 minutes. Presto! You have soft and warm rolls that will taste fresh.
5. Put dry or crumbling cookies on a cookie sheet, and dampen a thin dish towel. Wring it out really well, and lay it over the cookies. Put them in a 350 degree oven for five minutes.
