How to Soften French Bread (11 Steps)

French bread, also known as a baguette, is a loaf of bread with a crusty outside and soft inside. It can be made into several things, such as garlic bread and sandwiches. The fresher the bread is, the softer it will be. But if you don't eat it within a few days, it will become stale. You can either make croutons or soften the bread to resemble the consistency it was the day you bought it.
