Here is a foolproof method to soften rock-hard brown sugar and revive its soft, sand-like texture with minimal effort.
Print Recipe
Ingredients
Hardened brown sugar
Equipment
Freezer bag or airtight container
Instructions
Place hardened brown sugar in a large airtight container. I use a freezer bag.
Add 1-2 slices of bread slices. A regular sandwich bread is perfect for this, and I use bread heels to minimize waste.
Seal the container/bag airtight and allow it to sit overnight.
The next day, find your brown sugar nice and soft! Discard the bread slices.
Notes
To keep it gluten-free,
you can use one of the following in place of bread slices:
- Gluten-free bread
- Large marshmallows
- Soaked terra cotta disk
