Stale rolls aren't exactly appetizing.
With a simple trick, you can create steaming, soft rolls that taste fresh in less than ten minutes.
Let's be honest: There is nothing nicer than fresh, fragrant rolls for breakfast that are maybe even a little warm.
But when the holidays are around the corner or the cold weather prevents us from visiting the bakery in the morning, rolls quickly become hard lumps.
Before you throw old rolls or hard bread into the trash with a heavy heart, you should try an ingenious freshness tip.
Old rolls fresh again: This is how you can achieve revival
Fresh rolls are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but this perfect state quickly becomes a thing of the past.

Preheat your oven to 150 degrees.
Simply wrap the hardened roll in a wet, clean tea towel or kitchen towel for two minutes and allow it to absorb some of the moisture.
Then put it in the oven!
Five minutes in the warm oven is enough - the roll is nice and soft and crispy again and can be eaten for breakfast.
Are you not the bread roll type?
The tip works in a similar way with bread: Simply brush hard bread all over with a little water.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Then wrap the bread in some aluminum foil and bake it in the oven for three minutes.
After this short procedure, your bread will be soft and delicious again - ready for your favorite topping.
You can also freeze bread and defrost it whenever you need a few fresh slices.
More enjoyment, less waste
With this simple trick you no longer have to sink your teeth into old, hard rolls or bunny bread.
Use the methods above to breathe new life into your baked goods and enjoy freshness even if you prefer to stay indoors in cold weather.
By the way: Another delicious option is simple homemade rolls.
This makes every morning a pleasure!
