Lets talk about bread.

I feel like I always throw away like half a loaf. This includes buns also.

I put them in the fridge but im not a fan of cold bread (I know im nuts)

How do you keep your bread fresh?

Re: Lets talk about bread.

this might not be an option for u bc u might not like this but....i buy light seedless rye and of course i do put it in the fridge but it lasts soooooooooooo long and also wheat bread lasts a really long time as well.....white bread doesnt last half as long even when put in the fridge

Re: Lets talk about bread.

i buy the small loaf of everything. and mostly all breads come with a half loaf now. maybe you should try that. i hate putting my bread in the fridge

We keep it in the fridge, but we buy small loaves, or make fresh bread.

I laugh looking at the bread box because my dad always says its just a good way not to look at the bread that's getting moldy...LOL

Re: Lets talk about bread.

we buy freshly baked bakery bread (they put it in a thin plastic bag with a tie), and we put that bag in a 2 gallon ziplock, and store it at room temp.

it lasts about 4 days that way

Re: Lets talk about bread.

We usually put it in the fridge after a few days. You can always stick a couple pieces in the microwave for a few seconds to take the chill out if you don't like cold bread. (I don't like cold bread either!)

refridgerator. the bread box does nothing for me. h

Re: Lets talk about bread.

I only buy wheat bread & it seems to last longer. I will NOT put bread in the fridge! I have a small storage drawer in my cabinets where I keep my bread, crackers & what not....With the way my husband eats it though, I go through a whole loaf a week

Re: Lets talk about bread.

We keep ours in the freezer. If we make a sandwich, we only need to let it thaw for a couple of minutes or so. We don't mind cold bread though, I actually prefer it.

I keep it in the Microwave

Re: Lets talk about bread.

my parents keep it in the oven..

Re: Lets talk about bread.

if i buy a full loaf i slice it as i would if i was serving it immed, I then take the left overs & put them in the zipper zip locks in the FREEZER.. That was it takes like 5 min to defrost , or can put it in the oven for like 10 min to take the chill off ..

Re: Lets talk about bread.

I HATE cold bread too! I only use bread for sandwiches at lunch though, so we keep it in the fridge and I bring my lunch to work. By the time lunch rolls around, the bread is nice and warm.

Re: Lets talk about bread.

not a fan of cold bread here either. the only bread related item I keep in the fridge are english muffins, since they need to be toasted anyway.

I am in the same boat as you - I feel like it is so wasteful to buy a full loaf and throw away 1/2 of it when it expires. I'm going to look into 1/2 loafs. I have never noticed them before at the grocery store. I just grab the brand I like and never look at anything else.
