Do you have bread in the fridge?

[Mad2rix]

I kept newly bought bread in a freezer, while storing the other bread in a cupboard.

I always have bread in the fridge, I can't believe you never heard of this. I can never finish a loaf before it gets moldy. Since I'm by myself, it takes a while. I usually buy 3 loafs at one time at the story, and that will last me a month in the fridge. Yes, I'm the type of person who only likes to go grocery shopping once a month.

I wonder if the type of bread you're using is so different from mine or if it's a humidity issue....I have never had bread go mouldy before it got hard....maybe if I let it lie around for 2 weeks or so...

 

[Cutlass]

the bread we buy usually gets hard long before it gets mouldy, so that never was a problem for us....besides cold bread sounds disgusting

The refrigerator isn't that cold! The bread is no colder than the stuff you're putting in it in any case. And bread is a really poor conductor of heat. So it's really not noticeable.

 

[Tycho Brahe]

No. I keep it en a paperbag in the breadbox. It get's dry but not moldy.

Besides I always have crisp bread/knäckebröd in store.

 

[Disgustipated]

Bread doesn't actually get moldy that fast where I live (desert), but it eventually will. I might only eat like 4 sandwiches a week, so I do need to keep the bread from getting moldy.

I find that as long as the bread isn't pressed up against the wall of the refrigerator, it won't get hard. But if it is pressed up against the side, that side of the loaf will get hard.

I keep it in the fridge and use it within a week.

Bread in America is way different than what you'd see labelled as bread in a grocery store in Europe. In America (and Canada) most of the stuff labelled as bread is very soft white toast-like stuff. So maybe that's why.

As for me, I bulk buy bread, freeze most of it, and keep the rest either out on the counter (if it's a weekday and it's fresh enough) or in the fridge (if I think there's a chance of it going bad soon)

probably a difference in what you consider "bread".
If we (at least germans, probably not different in surrounding countries) are talking about bread, we normally mean "wholemeal bread", not "white bread" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread).

But i also have to keep that in the fridge, because i'm too slow for a whole.

 

[PhroX]

I keep my bread in the freezer. When I want a slice or two, it just takes a brief zap in the microwave to unfreeze it for eating.

This. Though, I rarely have sliced bread that isn't toast (sometimes as toasties), so I can usually just put it in the toaster frozen. If I'm going to be eating sandwiches, I go and buy some nice bread, and eat it up that day.

 

[Supr49er]

I keep a loaf in the fridge at work. At home, we eat it fast enough to keep it in the breadbox.

Yeah, same here

I still refuse to call this bread

Spoiler :

If you can squeeze the whole loaf into something the size of a marble, then it is not bread.

Didn't realise there were so many bread snobs in OT!

There are advantages to that type of bread. Many advantages.

Not sure what you're talking about. I eat mostly sourdough and whole wheat, which is the complete opposite of Wonderbread (which is probably the white bread grossness you're thinking of).

Well, you knew I was here, and I haven't even been snobbish in this thread.

well, Imo you have to be a snob about bread.. since bread isn't that good.. you need good quality bread... otherwise it is impossible to eat

There are advantages to that type of bread. Many advantages.

besides being cheap? I would like to hear those....

 

[7ronin]

We keep it in the freezer.
