My parents are upperclass but ultra frugal and they'll buy yesterdays bread from the supermarket bakery to save $1.
The shit is stale and hard when they buy it. Now it's rockhard, you'd chip a tooth on it, but they won't throw it away until it's ate.
Any way to soften stale hard bread?

Grind it up into dust. Use to thicken a soup.

yes it is asshat, a 5lb bag of flour is like 2.00 which will make 6-8 1lb loafs, yeast can be stored and grown in the fridge almost indefinitely for free. A dash of salt and some water you can take your poor ass to McD's and steal it.

I feel like I'm the only person who read the OP. He isn't asking how to use old bread, but how to make it soft again.
Heating bread re activates the gluten in it, making it soft again. Microwave it for 10 seconds, or put it in a hot oven for a minute and it should be fine.

You're forgetting the ridiculous amount of time OP has to put in compared to just going to the store and buying bread

[Anonymous No.4105465]

You mean about 10-20 minutes of prep and then being able to do whatever while it bakes? Because going to the store takes that amount of time, minimum.

Everyone laugh at this fucking moron. He probably thinks store bought bread tastes better too.

>but they won't throw it away until it's ate.

ask your "upper class" parents to send you to grammar school, about 4th or 5th grade level is where you need to start over.

That would be a pizza crust topped with only beef on the left side.

This. French toast is best with stale bread because it absorbs more of the delicious batter.

[Anonymous No.4105489]

>>4105486
Preferably, stale french bread, but whatever else you got will work as well.
