The folk method of storing bread in the refrigerator no longer stands up to criticism. In terms of preservation, it really has no equal.
But not in terms of taste. Experienced housewives have long since stopped storing bread in either the refrigerator or the freezer.
Let's find out how to keep bread fresh, tasty and so that it doesn't get moldy.
Breadbox
They say that only a bread bin made of natural wood is suitable for long-term storage. But it is not cheap.
Another problem is that there is rarely room for a bread bin in the kitchen or it does not fit into the interior.
Bags
No, not polyethylene, but linen.
Linen and cotton bags will cost less than a wooden bread bin, but the bread will be stored in them just as well.
They allow air to pass through perfectly, bread and rolls do not get moldy or stale in them, and retain their taste.
If necessary, you can wash such a bag in a washing machine.
Paper bag
A paper bag also retains its taste properties, but is in many ways inferior to cloth bags.
Storage conditions
Also, remember that the ideal conditions for bread are room temperature.
In extreme cases, you can freeze the bread. But you will have to defrost it 5-10 hours before eating.
