This is a guide about preventing mold on bread. It isn't any fun to be making a sandwich and discover that your bread is moldy. There are a number of ways to prevent your bread from molding.
Rejuvenate Hard Bread in the Microwave
Hard French bread (or other) can be made fit to eat by putting in the microwave for 30 seconds or so. If the bread is VERY stale and hard, then sprinkle some water on the bread to help soften it.
Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Pour into greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.
Closing Bread Without Twist-Tie
Get rid of the annoying twist-ties used to close your bread bag. Simply twist the top of the plastic bread wrapper itself instead. I just hold the top and give the bread a quick twirl, then fold the wrapper back over the bread top.
Skillet Pillsbury Rolls and Biscuits
If your sweet tooth is giving you fits and you don't have anything on hand to calm it, pop open a can of rolls or biscuits. Roll out as flat as possible, and add to low to medium heat in a skillet with a little butter or margarine.
You can make bread crumbs with any leftover bread pieces by grinding them up in a blender. They'll be coarse. Dry them on a cookie sheet for a day or two, then grind again.
Use Heating Pad When Letting Dough Rise
When I am trying to get a yeast dough to rise, I place a heating pad on low underneath the pan of dough. Cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray and place a kitchen towel on top to keep the warmth inside.
Use Two Kinds Of Bread for Sandwiches
I love Western Hazelnut bread. It has hazelnuts, flax seed, sunflower seeds, sesame, and more. The toast is amazing, and it makes great sandwiches. However, it is really expensive.
Closing A Bread Bag Without A Tie
If you lose your bread tie for the bag, just twist the bag several times and fold the bag back over the bread.

I have found some great bread machine recipes. However, the crust always comes out extra crispy. It isn't burned, just crispy. Any ideas on how to prevent this?
