Where is your bread?

A bit lighthearted but I am trying to declutter the kitchen worktops. I currently have a bread bin, on the worktop but I want rid.
If you don't have a bread bin where do you put the bread?

YABU - keep the bread bin on the worktop
YANBU - get rid they went with the ark. Bread is.....

Bottom shelf of the wall cupboard above the worktop where the toaster and kettle sit. It's just in the bag it came in and lives with all the other bready type stuff and the jars for tea bags/coffe/sugar

Ditto for me.

In the breakfast drawer

BeaAndBen · 06/03/2025 07:35

In a deep drawer under the toaster - there’s a lot of it. Wraps, pittas, sourdough, bagels, sliced white.

In a bread bin on top of my fridge.

PorkHollywood · 06/03/2025 07:32

In the cupboard. We go through a loaf every 2-3 days here.

In my bread bin or in my 11 year old.

In the cupboard.

Everytime I see this thread title I read it into myself as “WHERE is your bread” in the tone of those 80s adverts - do you know where your kids are?!

In a bread bin on the counter. Very small kitchen with not enough cupboard space and a bread obsessed cat that would chew through a bread packet to get to it. We used to have a top opening bread bin but the cat learned how to open it, so now we have a magnetic front opening one that has a flat top that I can keep the cereal containers on

In a basket hanging from the wall unit in the corner:

In the bread bin in a deep drawer so it's not on the surfaces.

in the bread bin
when it gets to use by date, put in freezer

Sgtmajormummy · 06/03/2025 06:23

Bread gets cut into daily quantities and put in the freezer as soon as it’s bought. A minute in the microwave brings it back to life.

Except for a day’s worth which goes on my A4-sized bread board/heat mat (with crumb catcher) on the kitchen table.

In a basket in a cupboard in the island, along with toaster. New since we got new kitchen - more space/cupboards meaning we have space to put the toaster away each time. Really not as annoying as I’d imagined - clear work top is worth getting toaster out a few times a day (toast loving kids!).

In a bread bin in the utility room.

In a bread bin in the cupboard.

PearTreeBoat · 06/03/2025 05:01

Mine actually lives on top of my bread bin! For some reason I've started keeping the onions and potatoes in the bread bin, so the bread has had to move out.

mathanxiety · 06/03/2025 04:54

In a bag in a storage jar on the counter. The fridge dries it out too much and so does the freezer.

yikesanotherbooboo · 06/03/2025 03:16

Fresh loaf on bread board , all the rest in the freezer

Pinkfluffypencilcase · 06/03/2025 02:27

In the microwave..

mondaytosunday · 06/03/2025 02:08

I just put it on the counter (the bread). I used to have a bread bin but either the bread was never put in it or I'd find a mouldy loaf that I'd forgotten about ..

Putting bread in the fridge makes it go stale quicker (look it up). We should either keep it at room temperature or in the freezer.

I keep mind in a bread bag by the toaster.

That's where it was when I lived alone.
Having kids i though I should do the grown-up thing and have a bread bin.
But 90% of the time we make toast maybe I should go back to freezer
.

Bread is consumed once a week roughly in this house and always as toast/toastie. If no one regularly eats sandwiches in yours, the freezer is the best place.

Bread goes stale in the fridge as the starch crystallises rapidly in the cold.

Hung from a hook in the larder in a cloth bag (bread inside is in the wrapper it came in)
