Bread can go stale or even mouldy in just a matter of days, which can lead to a lot of food waste.

Sharing her secret tip for reviving any stale loaf of bread, Moulton says that if you splash a stale loaf of bread with water, wrap it up tightly in foil and then heat it for 12 to 15 minutes in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit, the bread will feel fresh again.
