How do you soften bread?

Answer

Wrap it in a damp towel and pop it in a warm oven for a few minutes.

Also

A few seconds in the microwave can "revive" bread that isn't too dried out. Wrap it in a slightly! damp cloth and let 'er rip. Be warned that it takes but a short time to "overdo" the bread and make the crust tough.

There is a general rule with a microwave project like this: you can always cook for a few more seconds to add a bit more heat - but you can't "un-add" it. It's like adding salt during cooking. You can always add a bit more, but if you overdo it....

Bon appétit!
