A pillow case is such a great idea. I use a flour bag and a rice bag. Or you could use a ham bag.

+1 on linen bags for bread. What we do is (after fully cooled) put the loaf into a linen bag, then put that into a plastic grocery store bag and put that in the refrigerator. Yes, there is the bad side of the fridge, but this way we get zero mold and have had bread stay good for easily 2 or even 3 weeks. When we cut a slice of cold bread, we microwave it for maybe 10-15 seconds just so it's slightly above room temperature. (These are loaves with no oil or dairy, just flour water salt yeast and various extras like wheat bran or seeds)

Your bread looks great and tasty! I'm glad you found something that works for you when storing your bread. I live in Missouri, and humidity probably plays a role in what works there versus what works here, but this is what I found to work perfectly here. First off, yes real cloth is better, health wise, than plastic, but I don't have a problem with mold with plastic and here's why. When I make homemade sandwich/slicing bread (no fancy artisan bread), I let it 100% completely cool for a few hours before storing it. I simply place it in a gallon twist tie plastic bag, those cheap ones you get from Walmart. I get out as much air as possible before tying it AND (here's the key) store it OUT of the sunlight. If it's placed where the warm sun shines on it, condensation happens and then mold will happen. I do not store in the fridge for the very reason you said. I store in the bag, on the counter, and out of the sunlight. I make two loaves at a time and most often they don't make it but 5 days, but once we were gone for a quite a while and after two weeks, my bread was still fresh, soft, and not moldy. So, that works here.
@MelissaKNorris2 жыл бұрын
My kitchen is north facing and bread is never stored in sunlight but will still mold in plastic (I've let it cool for 8 hours before(, must just be different environments but I'm glad you found something that works for you.
@lizapapadatou-papavramides75252 жыл бұрын
Another solution is to wrap it , when cold , into a kitchen paper, and then in a light plastic bag , and then into the fridge. The paper absorbés the excess moisture, while the bread remains fresh without any mold. In this way its grilled version tastes great! Also, you can moist all around a loaf of , say, 3 or 5 days, put it in the oven for 15 ´ in 200°C preheated temp., and it becomes like freshly baked-- a baker’s secret to me!! ❤️👍

What a great idea, I have just been keeping my bread in the oven overnight for it to cool, but my kids eat it all within two days. I do have yards and yards of linen fabric and I wonder about making a basket wrap to keep the bread in. I remember my grandmother always serving rolls in a basket with a light fabric wrapped around them way be in the 70s and 80s.

Ill have to check out the linen bags. Out of sheer laziness, I keep my dutch oven on my stove top and store my artisan bread inside. I often eat within couple days anyway but not sure how much it breathes in there with lid on, except for when I open it up couple times a day to sneak a bite. I guess could cover top of it with tea towel then put lid on so there's perhaps just a crack of air filtering in. 😊

Cotton is a natural wicking material for moisture. I would say it's drawing the moisture out of the bread so it dries out sooner than linen. 🥰
@MichelleBrown-it6rq2 жыл бұрын
Cotton actually absorbs moisture and does not wick. For instance if you're hiking, you should go with a wool shirt instead of cotton as it will wick away the moisture from your skin but cotton will soak up the sweat and will stay wet longer.
