Was just making my lunch and remembered a little trick I learnt from an old newspaper clipping in a 50's cookbook I have.

If you have whole bread (not sliced) that is getting a bit stale it's really easy to bring it back to beautiful freshness. Pop it on a tray in a preheated moderate oven (180) for about 5 mins. When you get it out it should be hot to the touch and slightly hard. Then take the bread and wrap in 2 tea towels and leave to rest for about 5-10 mins. You'll find your rolls are good as new. Soft inside. Lightly crunchy and taste as fresh as if you baked them yourself. A lot of people will reheat in the oven but the trick is to steam them afterwards in the tea towels for the best results.

I did it today with rolls purchased on Sunday. Tastes better than they did on Sunday and are perfect for my egg salad
