Put Your Leftovers in the Freezer
Don’t waste any leftover baguette: Wrap it in an airtight bag and keep it in the freezer to eat later.
Cook with Stale Bread
If the leftover piece of bread is stale because you forgot it on the counter, you can always use it for homemade croutons or breadcrumbs, or eat it with cheese fondue. Above all, don’t waste it by putting it in the compost.
Put It in the Oven
Whether your baguette is frozen or stale, simply run it quickly under water to moisten it and slip it in the oven at 400ºF (200°C) for 10 minutes. This foolproof method will soften the bread and also make it crispy again.
