Fresh baked bread is best eaten the same day. I keep my bread wrapped in the parchment paper I baked it in and place that is a brown paper bag and leave in the dutch oven with lid on the counter. That keeps it from getting hard but the crust will soften. Or I sliced up the bread on day 2 and freeze. Simply take out and toast when you want a slice of bread.
However I did test out softening up your stale bread in the microwave and it worked perfect! Simply mist the loaf in question with water and wrap in a paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds and like magic you have a soft loaf again!
If you are done eating from that loaf, making breadcrumbs with the leftovers is perfect! I chops my loaf up into rather large chunks and freeze in a ziploc bag. I use these breadcrumbs for toppings on casseroles (macaroni and cheese is our favorite!), savory breakfast Strada's, bread pudding or a French toast bake! There are lots of ways to use your breadcrumbs, get creative
