...do you keep bread in the fridge?

No but I did freeze it and toast it when I lived alone

Cold bread is horrible

yes in our area it gets moldy if left out.

Sometimes if it's particularly warm I do to keep it from going mouldy.

@SingingInTheShithouse

I freeze bread but I only use it for toast in the morning.

I have so many questions

What are your questions

No because it dries it out.

In hot weather, so as I’m in England hardly ever.

No, it lives in the bread bin.

No! Why on earth would you.
However I do freeze bread often. Watching a documentary, studies concluded pre frozen bread somehow has less effect on your blood sugar. That has to be good right.

If it lasted longer in the fridge then supermarkets would keep it in a fridge as they would be keen to prolong shelf life of their products. Same with eggs.

Bread in fridge is wrong.

No, the bread bin.

No but…we buy fresh bread and freeze and defrost as needed so it keeps that just out of the bakery freshness. We also wouldn’t get through a full load before it went mouldy.

If I’m going to eat bread it’s going to be delicious.

Always keep bread in the fridge, it doesn’t go stale, hard or damp. It lasts much longer and doesn’t go mouldy..
Big fridge.

I always rinse onions with cold water, as soon as I peel them, rinse the board and knife I’ve used, and therefore never cry, because of them. And then start chopping, slicing etc
I’m magic 😇

Absolutely not. Bread from the fridge tastes off.

No. Never.

Always did when we lived in a very hot climate with no AC in the kitchen. Everything perishable had to be kept in the fridge, inc. e.g. potatoes and onions, or it wouldn’t last 5 minutes.

Oh, and flour was kept in the freezer, to kill the inevitable weevils and their tiny larvae - I would just sieve the teeny corpses out.

Here bread goes in the bread bin, though.

@quizqueen

No. but I always keep bread in the freezer and then either thaw slices as I need them or toast from frozen. I live alone so a loaf lasts me a week or more.

I do exactly the same. Also (if available) I buy price reduced bread on its last day, since it’s going straight in the freezer. Saves money, and have never had a problem with slices defrosted and used the same day.

In the freezer

Haha yes but only because we don't have it much and it would 100% go mouldy if it wasn't

@Mrsmadevans

Bread lasts six times longer OUT of the fridge in a cool, dark and dry place

It really doesn’t - not the sourdough we eat, anyway. It’ll develop mould within a few days out of the fridge, but keeps at least a week in the fridge.

Yes. Always 😂

DH used to, but when we moved (after 8 years!) there is a great baker down the road so I got a breadbin and found my old bread knife, et voila! DH stopped insisting on buying that plastic shit. Even if we get sliced loaf - why? for old times' sake?! - if goes in the bin not the fridge.

Yes! I'd rather have stale bread than mouldy bread. I never have to throw any away when it's kept in the fridge.

No. It gets damp. Breadbin, which is airtight. Or freezer..

Tend to keep a loaf in the freezer, then buy or make fresh bread and use the freezer loaf if we run out. Fresh bread is stored in a bread bin. Lots of my Indian relatives keep bread in the freezer. I am not sure it does any harm.
