I keep bread in the fridge. Deal with it.

Here is a small tip. Air is the biggest factor in causing mold on bread. If you have a vacuum machine best to remove as much air without crushing the bread. Second best is to take the plastic bag and do your best to suck out (with your mouth) as much air as you can and then tie shut the bag. You will find the bread will stay fresh almost twice as long with less air in the bag.

I have to wonder why I think you have few friends.

Tastes better and it's firmer that way.

I don't get weird room temperature floppy dick shit-tasting bread by keeping it out on the counter.

And I don't know if I've ever had bread go stale or bad on me. It's always wrapped in the fridge and the bread is usually eaten within a week or two of purchase. (Although I've bought multiple loafs at the store and they've been fine for up over a couple weeks. I don't know of a time bread was "bad")

My wife does That, I though it was weird but it definitely keeps the bread much better that keeping it at room temperature.

Freezing and Refrigerating are not the same. Freezing, provided that it's no more than 30 days, doesn't negatively affect the quality of the bread as much as Refrigerating does.

There are 2 major problems with Refrigerating:

1) It dries the bread faster
2) Bread absorbs odors and the fridge is often inundated with some odor. This affects the flavour of the bread.

Stale bread is edible, and actually pretty much fine if toasted. So keeping bread in the fridge is not the worst idea in the world if keeping it out would have caused it to mold before it can be finished.

If you like french toast stale bread is the shit.

If you like french toast stale bread is the shit.

That and croutons are about the only thing it's good for.

Maybe bread pudding, if you like that stuff.

We buy it in bulk, stuff it in the freezer, and withdraw it in bi-loaf-wise increments.

Get out of our basement.
