Hopefully this post is appropriate for this section. I'm just interested in whether refrigerating home-bake bread from supermarkets will help it to keep longer. I know that ordinary loaves don't benefit from refrigerating, but part-bake bread normally comes in airtight packaging, so I wonder if that means it might extend the shelf life a bit? (BTW, my freezer is full :D , so that's why I haven't mentioned that).

Aldi currently have some home bake breadsticks in the middle aisle - which I haven't seen sold anywhere else - and they looked too good to pass up.

  • My system is - if you buy it from their fridge it should go in yours. So if you bought it from a shelf it shouldn't need refrigerating.  I buy mini naan breads from aldi/lidl and they live in my cupboard because they're not sold refrigerated itms?
    I'm unsure about my spine, I think it's holding me back.
  • I've had some sat in the cupboard before for ages, no ill effects. 
    Quite a handy thing to have in for a lazy tea, in late etc. 

    Once that packet is open though it needs eating up quick. 
  • I keep mine in the fridge as I have plenty of room, I buy the normal white baguettes.

    I have used them 2 months out of date & they were fine.
