the water creates steam... which helps soften up the bread... butter is going to be very tasty, but I don't beleive will get you much in the way of steam...
For bread that's gone stale on me, I will usually just slice it up, brush some garlic infused olive oil on it adn then bake it or broil it (toaster oven works fine) til it's lightly browned...
