For Terry Vlossak, - re; refreshing bread, I freeze bread tightly wrapped
in aluminum foil and placed in a plastic bag with other wrapped loaves. To
refresh frozen bread, remove from plastic but leave loaf wrapped in foil,
thaw in 350 F oven or toaster oven for 20 minutes (baguettes), 25 or more
if thicker. The crust is usually fine but if it is a little soft, unwrap
the foil, turn off the oven and leave the loaf in the oven for 2 minutes more.
To refresh unfrozen bread, 5 minutes in a 350 F oven (turned off) will
usually do it but the crust might get brittle and "crumbly".
