Aromatic, fragrant, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This is what bread looks like right after baking. No wonder there are often large crowds standing in front of bakeries in the morning. We eat tasty bread mainly for breakfast or dinner, but sometimes we also eat it as a snack with soup or salad. What to do to keep it fresh and delicious for up to seven days?
How to store bread to keep it fresh for a long time? Forget about the fridge
Proper storage of bread will keep it delicious and fresh for a long time. What should you pay attention to to make this happen? First of all, take care of the temperature. Many people choose to store bread in the refrigerator. There is a common misconception that thanks to this it will retain its unique taste and freshness longer. Unfortunately, this is not true, because winter has the opposite effect and makes bread go stale much faster. So what should be the right temperature for storing bread? Ideally, it should be between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius.
Where is the best place to keep bread? You may not know this
Appropriate temperature, although extremely important, is not the only condition that a place for keeping bread should meet. In addition, you should also make sure that no moisture reaches the loaf. Therefore, instead of putting it in the fridge, it is better to buy a decent bread box or container. It doesn’t matter whether they are made of wood, bamboo, ceramic or metal (but it’s better to avoid plastic ones). The most important thing is that they are airtight and it will stay fresh for up to a week. Moreover, by storing the loaf this way, it will be easier for you to maintain the right temperature.
A clever way to keep bread fresh even after 3 months. You can freeze them
For holidays or other occasions, we often stock up on huge amounts of bread, which we are then unable to eat. In such a situation, it is best to simply freeze it. Especially since you can safely store the loaf in the freezer for up to three months. If you decide on this solution, remember a few things. First of all, do not freeze it whole, but in portions. Separate several slices into foil bags and only then put them in the bag. Then all you need to do is take them out to the fridge or put them in the oven for a whileand they will defrost in no time and will be as fresh as straight from the bakery.
