Spanish term or phrase: pan sentado
From a Spanish recipe: Poco antes de retirar la cazuela, se colocan unas rodajas de pan sentado y se sirve cuando esté esponjado.
I gather that pan sentado is bread that is chewy for some reason and thus relegated to this type of use. Am I correct and what would be an appetizing way of putting it? Day old bread?

neutral  margaret caulfield: not necessarily for this type of dish, Sheila. Anyway, "yesterday's" bread is already stale.
