How do you store your bread?
« on: September 28, 2009, 10:11:47 am »
I've been using freezer bags to store my bread, but they're so thin that they tear very easily.  And one tiny hole can make the bread stale very quickly.

I always make 2 loaves and freeze one.  I find it's quicker to make 2 at a time as everything is out, the oven is on etc.

I also use freezer bags but haven't had a problem with them tearing - I use Multix brand, generic brands seem much flimsier. Bread still goes stale quickly. I read yesterday that your bread should be cold before you put it in the bag so the crust isn't compromised as this is what keeps the moisture in.

I am hankering after a clay bread crock. Probably would have had one by now if I could find one on ebay! - there seem to be umpteen available in the UK. Does anyone use one of these?

I slice and place into a ziplock bag and then take out a slice at a time for the toaster as needed.

Same here Sundari - they are nice and thick and you can get rather large ones too.

Have you tried putting it inside a paper bag and then the freezer bags?

Ziplock bags are a good idea - and can be reused a few times.  I'll give that a go I think.
Haven't tried the paper bag and freezer bag.  Wouldn't the paper go soggy in the freezer?

Ceejay, I've been waiting patiently for that comment.  I knew it had to be out there in cyberspace somewhere!

I use the Multiplix (?) freezeer bags too. I put a piece of 'go between' in between the bread slices as I find the 5 seed bread hard to divide when it's frozen. I don't know if you can buy 'go between' still I've had mine for ages.

As there is only 2 of us I usually slice and freeze. Then pull out pieces as required. The only bread that usually doesn't get frozen is the raison bread - it doesn't last that long  :-)) ;D

I've had a metal bread "bucket" with lid which I've had for ages but find that stuff goes mouldy in there quite quickly.  I now use an old supermarket carrier bag and tie a loose knot in at the end.   I always let the bread cool before I put it in the bag.

Mind you, if i know we've got people coming round, I put the bag in the bread bucket to hide it as it isn't particularly attractive  ;)

I don't store it either  :( Though I do have the tupperware bread container that it sits in on the bench but bread is a daily thing in this house. If I make 2 loaves they will eat it, if I make 4 loaves they will still manage to eat it  :o :-))

In Cairns I have found I can't keep bread more than a few day before it goes mouldy. For my own bread I make small loaves for the two of us and just keep it in an open basket in the pantry. After a couple of days it goes in a zip lock in the fridge or feezer. Fresh then toast then breadcrumbs!
