It is important that the bread bin is located away from heat sources – the stove, direct sunlight, etc.

It is better to wrap the bread in a paper bag or simply in cotton cloth.

But the worst place, according to the baker, is the refrigerator. Mold develops slowly in the refrigerator, but the bread itself will go stale faster.

If you really want to extend the shelf life of your bread, you can use the freezer.
