    Crispy bread

    I just bought a nice loaf of bread for 23p (and some jam doughnuts for 18p - 75% reductions). The bread looks nice and has poppy seeds etc. Can I make it crispy again?

    I'm thinking of giving a quick doush with water and then bunging it in the oven. I've seen tips for using the microwave, but that doesn't sound like a good crispy route.

    Feck, hit the wrong button and sent the post before I'd written it.

    Microwave does not work well. Use a damp (do not soak) cloth and quickly wipe the bread. Use a high heat. It only partially works because all it is doing is dissolving the crystals with steam.

      why don't you just bung it in the toaster?
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        That could be plan B for slices, but I fancy doing the whole loaf. High heat it is...

          Reminds me of a popular TV presenter whose name was/is Christopher Peacock:

          Christopher Peacock - Hompage

          I did actually meet him in my youth when he did a tour of the factory where I worked, I think for a TV story he was covering.

          You might be asking "what has this to do with a thread about crispy bread?". Well, the truth is that he would always shorten his first name, so when he was introduced on prime time TV he was presented as "Chris Peacock", and sign off with the same. Which as you can probably appreciate was a source of some amusement (well I was young and titters were easily raised....).

            So you bought something that looks nice but is actually cheap and tulipty. Have you considered not getting conned?
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
