Whether you want your loaf bread to last the whole week or you want to keep it for several days, there are ways to keep it fresh longer. The way you store your bread can make a big difference to how long it stays soft and tastes fresh. The guide below discusses several ways to keep your loaf bread tasting fresh for days. 

How to Properly Store Bread

1. Store in Paper Bags

You might think that wrapping your loaf bread in plastic will keep it fresh longer. However, plastic can actually create a hospitable environment for mold to start growing. Keep the bread in a paper bag, as paper prevents mold growth. Place the bag on your countertop or a shelf away from direct sunlight. 

2. Use a Bread Box 

Bread boxes are the ideal place to store your bread. They allow air to circulate through little holes, preventing mold from growing. Breadboxes also keep bugs from getting into the loaves. Make sure to place your bread box in a cool, dry spot.

3. Freeze It

Freezing bread is a great way to make sure it stays good for a long time. Place it in an airtight baggie so that moisture doesn't make the bread soggy. When you are ready to eat it, simply take it out to defrost. Cut the bread into smaller pieces so that when you're ready to defrost, you can eat the smaller pieces as you go.
