Freezing method

Freezing bread is another efficient cooking method that is effective. You can slice the loaf before putting it in a freezer bag, removing the air from the bag. When ready to eat, the bread can be thawed at room temperature or toasted for a quick and convenient way to enjoy the fresh product.

Reconstituting stale bread

Stale bread can easily be refreshed with a simple technique. Sprinkle a small amount of water on the crust of the bread, then bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. This method uses steam to soften the bread, making it taste freshly baked again.

As a reminder, bread can be substituted for Indian flatbreads made from whole-grain atta flour. Their uniqueness is that chapati (as these flatbreads are called) can be eaten on their own or filled with different fillings.
