What exactly does day-old bread mean and does it mean that you leave it out for a day not wrapped up?

Answer

It means bread that is dry and slightly stale, which is usually several days old. If you need stale bread (for stuffing, for example) and you don't have any, leaving it uncovered overnight is a good way to 'stale' it.
