Keep Bread Fresh
I either freeze my bread immediately (as soon as it cools, of course) or leave a fresh loaf in a sealed zip lock bag on the counter for my daily consumption.
I have found that my bread is good and stays fresh in the bag at room temp for about a week or more. I do 'squeeze' as much air from the bag before sealing it so keep it as fresh as possible. I did buy one of those plastic bread keepers with that has about 5 tiny holes drilled in it, but the bread got stale much faster. How do others keep their bread fresh when left out at room temp? And keeping any 'critters' from helping you eat it? John |

Keep Bread Fresh
Well. I've been trying to keep my SD bread fresh in paper wrapping just
lying to the kitchen. That does not work .-) The crust is better when I wrap in paper, but the taste.... After a few days it's so sour you can't imagine, and the crumb really dries up. I'll plastic bags from now on .)

It's just a plastic tray with a large bowl shaped plastic lid that sort-of snaps onto the tray. It's not 100% air-tight but bread keeps in it really well. The open edge of a cut loaf seems like it was just sliced even a day or 2 later. Googling "cake dome" turns up a lot. I guess you can order them from Amazon and elsewhere. |

Keep Bread Fresh
We have a bread box, but I've never tried keeping uncovered sourdough with it. We keep our store-bought plastic-bagged bread in there. I wonder if it would retain moisture well? I'm thinking it would be about equivalent to brown bagging a loaf. No?

I use them for individual proofing boxes over and over and they work great, and my proofing bowls fit perfectly. hutchndi |

Keep Bread Fresh
I have no clue! I've seen movies where the bread box was opened, bread taken out, a slice cut, and the bread put back. Maybe it got eaten in time to avoid serious staleness -- I've noticed that since I started baking my own bread exclusively (and not buying store-bought), the kids make short work of it. Maybe a brown bag IN a bread box?
