Do you want your favorite bread to still taste juicy and delicious after a few days? We will show you how to store bread so that it stays fresh for as long as possible. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a bread box, paper bag, or earthenware container: If you follow these tips, nothing can go wrong.
Bread storage: type and place as A&O
Nothing beats fresh, crusty bread from the baker or straight out of the oven. But how can the bread be kept fresh so that it still tastes delicious after a few days? We tell you how to keep bread longer. Proper food storage is the most important factor in this – with the type of bread playing an equally crucial role in how long you can keep it. Because bread with a high proportion of rye, wholemeal or coarse grains, like sourdough or rye-sourdough bread, has a particularly long shelf life. If you store the bread correctly, rye bread stays tasty for four to six days, wholemeal bread for seven to nine days. A simple wheat or mixed wheat bread, on the other hand, no longer tastes fresh after two days.
Storing bread – tips for an optimal environment
Do you own a Roman pot? Then this is perfect for storing bread – whether in one piece or as sliced bread. Because clay or earthenware absorb excess moisture with their open pores: they keep it away from the baked goods, but release it again if necessary. An optimal moisture exchange that prevents mold and keeps the bread fresh for a long time. With such a clay or earthenware vessel you can store bread without a bread box. A bread bin that is not airtight performs a similar function. With smaller quantities, the whole thing even works in the paper bag in which you bought the bread from the baker: paper also ensures good moisture management. Regardless of which form of storage you choose: If possible, place the bread on the cut edge when storing it so that the crust also protects the inside from drying out.
