I’ve been buying this really nice fresh bakery bread on occasion recently. It’s good, but I don’t go through it super quickly so it’s sitting around for like 4 days give or take. I’d like to keep it relatively fresh for as long as possible and I’m wondering the best way to do that? Right now I keep it in a zip loc bag just on the table which seems to work okay, but I’m wondering if there’s something else that would be better. I’m not too worried about it going stale so much as I am about it getting moldy - especially as we move into the summer months. It gets quite humid where I am. Again I don’t need to keep it fresh for like, weeks and weeks, but just for like 4 or 5 days, something like that.
Huh I always thought bread dried out in the fridge
Open to the atmosphere it will slowly. Sealed it will not. Most vessels leak very slowly, so bread stored for years might be quite dry. Or in a material relatively pourous like thin plastic.
