Title: How do you store your fresh bread?
Post by: Odettelovestobake on December 22, 2012, 10:32:32 am: Hi there,

I'm a newbie, and I was just wondering how you store your fresh bread made in the TM?

I've made bread a few times before and always seem to have the problem of it going stale before the family has eaten it. At the moment I've got my baked today pumpkin bread wrapped in cling wrap in the fridge (I'm in NQ and the heat and humidity are high at the moment). Usually I would keep a store-bought loaf in it's plastic bag in the freezer, and only take out the slices as we need them. Should I slice my homemade loaf and put it in some kind of airtight container in the freezer?

Thanks for your suggestions :)

Odette

Post by: rostess on December 22, 2012, 10:44:26 am: I normally slice it and freeze it too. The other day I kept a loaf wrapped in a tea towel and that stopped it drying out during the day. The fridge draws moisture out of food so it would probably be making your bread dry out more quickly. The man at my bread shop recommended a calico bag so I'm going to give that a go soon.

Made 1 vienna day & 1 foccacia, gave 1/2 to neighbours, be lucky if theres any left for breakfast :)

Post by: judydawn on January 04, 2013, 08:54:07 am: I slice and freeze in zip-lock bags too but put freezer wrap between every 2 slices as homemade bread sticks together far more than bought bread (probably because I can't cut it straight).

The Vienna loaf (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=8950.0) stays fresher longer than any other bread I've baked so I leave that in a sealed bag in the cupboard and it is usually gone in 3 days.

Post by: achookwoman on January 06, 2013, 11:50:34 am: As the are just 2 of us, and I usually make large loaves, I cut each loaf in half and wrap each 1/2 in foil. I freeze 1 1/2. And eat the other. I don't slice the bread before freezing. We eat most of our bread as toast, except for the first day when it is fresh.
