Bread-Bakers v102.n041.10

Re:  Keeping the crust crisp on French bread.  The only way I've ever
managed to keep leftover baguettes fresh was to wrap them in foil and 
freeze them.   Then put the frozen loaves into a 350 F. oven, unwrapped, 
for about 15-20 minutes, and they'll be as good as fresh-baked.  Never, 
never let your bread come in contact with plastic bags, as plastic kills 
crusts! Hope this is of some help.
