when buying a loaf of breead, where do you actually keep it?

I am asking all where do you keep your bread when purchased?

I keep my bread in the fridge, but according to a BBC2 programme this is the wrong place to keep it, as it increases the time bread takes to go off.

I think the cold tempreture breaks down the yeast.

9% of people store there bread in the fridge, where do you keep yours?

I rarely watch TV but caught a glimpse of it at a neighbour's house half an hour ago.

I buy YS bread, which last upto 2 weeks in the fridge. Since I have the odd slice toasted and then turned into cheese on toast , the alleged "staleness" is lost on me.

As there's only two of us, it's kept in the freezer and slices are defrosted, toasted or fried as & when required.

I freeze it when I buy it and keep it in the cupboard once I've taken it out.

In my bread bin , but I've usually got spare loaves in the freezer but once defrosted its in the bread bin.

I don't think it is where it is stored is the problem but the quality of the bread.

I have bought bread from Sainsburys brand and it's gone off in days, sometimes before the use by date.

On the other hand I have bought M&S bread and it has been fine for up to 10 days after purchase.

And I never keep my bread in the fridge. Personally I think storing bread in the fridge makes it go off quicker.

This is because of the moist conditions in which the bread is stored. Spores love those kind of conditions.

Don't buy "bread" from a shop make your own :money:

Tastes better, less additives and never lasts longer than two days in my house

Keep it the work surface under a cake net BTW

I keep bread in the cupboard, but I have noticed that if I use a loaf that I have previously frozen and defrosted, it will last a couple of days longer before going stale / mouldy.

I was very surprised that they said keeping bread in the fridge made it go stale quicker. Over the years I have kept bread in a bread bin, just on the worktop, in a cupboard and now in a fridge. I find it keeps longer in the fridge so will carry on with that
