Brown sugar, thanks to its molasses content, adds rich flavor to cooking and baking. However, its hygroscopic nature makes it prone to hardening when exposed to air. To restore brown sugar's moisture, placing a slice of bread in the container proves effective, as it reintroduces needed moisture. While this method risks adding a subtle bread taste and requires time, alternatives like apple slices and marshmallows can work quicker. These options have varying flavor implications, underscoring the importance of proper sugar storage to avoid hardening in the first place.
Brown sugar's molasses content can elevate baking, but if not stored properly, it can harden. A slice of bread effectively rehydrates it.
Brown sugar’s hygroscopic nature absorbs moisture, which makes it great for recipes but also causes it to dry out if left exposed.
Using a slice of bread to rehydrate brown sugar is effective, but the process isn't quick and may impart a subtle bread taste.
Alternatives to bread, like thin apple slices or marshmallows, can also rehydrate brown sugar, but each has its own unique effects on flavor.
