We're so glad you're enjoying it, Jay! Adding an old bread soaker is a tradition that bakers have appreciated for years for both economic and flavor reasons - why throw out old bread when you can use it? It also adds a depth and complexity of flavor and can contribute to the staying power of your loaf. Any kind of bread an be used, but the more flavorful the old bread, the deeper the flavor it will add. Happy baking! Mollie@KAF
