Be'ezrat Hashem, Shavua Tov uMevorach, Yom Tov uMevorach, Rabotai (my masters). Here's a question: Are you allowed to take pita on Shabbat and put it on the plata (A Shabbat hot plate) in order to make it crispy? Guy wants to make it crispy, he wants to make it well done, he wants, he wants, he wants to make little croutons. Are you allowed to do it on Shabbat? Halacha (Jewish law), Rabotai, you're allowed to. Why are you allowed to? So there's a klal (principle); klal is Ein Afiyah Achar Afiyah. Once it's baked, that's it, it can't be baked again, so you put it on the fire—we don't put it on the fire because ... but you put it on the plata, not a problem. Okay, so if you want to harden bread on Shabbat, not an issue. Have a wonderful, wonderful day!
