How to refresh hard, dried bread?

How to refresh hard, dried bread?

I'm talking about leavened bread.


I know that it is possible, but difficult, some kind of an **art**, and I know ways *not* to do it.

* Soaking it in water quickly will make it soaking wet, making the pores collapse and totally destroying the texture.

* Soaking it too short will only soften the outer layer.

* Soaking it for days will get it moldy.

* Steaming it encounters similar problems, but is probably on the right path.

Anyone here who was done it successfully? What to do, and what to avoid?
