Nothing beats a fresh loaf. But when you have one left over, you can easily make it *almost* fresh again.
Do you sometimes have leftover loaves that don’t seem quite as exciting the next day? Or do you like to shop/bake ahead of time and by the time you want to serve the bread, it’s not quite crispy anymore?
The solution is simple. Heat your oven to 350⁰F.
Run the water in your sink and quickly pass the loaf under the water. The goal is to get the crust wet – not to saturate the loaf. (You could just scoop some water over with your hand if you prefer.)
*NOTE: Please discuss with your LOR if your oven racks would need to be toiveled before placing food directly on them.

I believe you’re referring to the need for the racks to be toiveled (dipped) before cooking on them directly. So, yes, one should discuss that with a LOR if theirs have not been.

I think the reason for not putting food straight on the rack is that you’re not supposed to make bread fleishig or milchig.
