Bread stays fresh longer if it's stored in a proper place.
Proper bread storage is a must to keep bread looking and tasting good. If the bread is left out uncovered, it will get stale or hard in just a few hours. Bread should never be stored in a place where it might get wet and get mushy. While some people store bread in the refrigerator, the best place to keep it is in a cupboard or bread box. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Store the bread in a cupboard or breadbox at room temperature. Keep prepackaged bread in its original packaging and reseal it after each use. The bread should keep until the "sell by" date on the package. Fresh bread from a deli lasts only a few days. Throw the bread out if it becomes hard or moldy. Keep all breads out of direct sunlight.
2. Cut enough aluminum foil to cover the entire loaf. Wrap the bread with the foil after each use. Place the wrapped loaf in a dry cupboard or breadbox.
3. Slice any bread you can't use before its expiration date and place it in a freezer bag. Smooth the bag out to get the air out. Seal the bag and place it in the refrigerator.
