storing homemade bread

angchris

i keep mine in a plastic supermarket bag and twirl it so theres no air in the bag and leave it on the breadboard on my kitchen worktop with the knife so when my 2 men wander into the kitchen after munchies they take a chunk of that instead of my other goodies besides my breadbin is far too full of crumpets/wraps/breadsticks etc to fit anything else in!:rotfl:

Hi there

I wrap mine in a clean tea towel and then in a carrier bag..and like angchris.. it gets left on the bread board with a knife.... unless of course i can get the loaf -made, cooled, sliced n frozen in 2s before hubby gets home ...which i actually manage to do sometimes :j

I make mine into 2 free form loaves to cook in the oven they fit perfectly in the large tesco freezer bags and i use 1 a day using the plastic bag this is fine to use for a day or two, and they get reused i freeze a weeks lot of bread at a time. and get it out he night before so ready in the morning

I pit mine in a large cliplock box on top of the bread bin where the rest of the family insist on keeping the horrible sliced bought bread that they insist on for the sandwiches.

Thank you for all your great suggestions, no more tin foil for me :j !

I have a terracotta bread crock that keeps the bread really fresh without the need for bags or tea towels.

I'm a carrier bag storer as well If I have any of those 'posh' resealable bags in I use those for the rolls

OK, so I am now the owner of a new panasonic breadmaker. You were all right, it makes fabulous bread (I used my christmas present money off my dad and bought something useful for once).

The next question that I have is what is the best way to store the bread, or what should I wrap it in to keep it as fresh as possible please?

I store my homemade bread in a lock and lock container that I bought in Lakeland plastics, It keeps my bread lovely and fresh http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!3345_5489_2480_5441
