Keep Bread Mold from Developing

After buying bread, poke a small hole in the opposite end from the main opening and put it in the refrigerator. The bread lasts longer and with the little bit of air seeping in, it keeps the bread at the deep end from developing mold.

I keep bread in the freezer. Two slices thaw out very quickly, or just put them directly in the toaster. (02/27/2009)

Just a quick note: The holes prevent molding because it lets moisture out, not because it lets air in. Letting air in is actually a bad idea because it encourages spoilage. That's one reason we vacuum pack things. It's also a good idea to squeeze the air out before closing bags, even if the contents doesn't require refrigeration. Mold and bacteria need air to thrive.

oisture also encourages spoilage so letting it out is helpful. It's the same reason vegetable bags have holes in them. And if you bags don't have holes, poke holes in them before putting them in the fridge. Veggies will last much longer.

I generally just refrigerate the bread and without poking holes. Having holes will allow the bread to absorb odors, which I don't want. (03/02/2009)

I wouldn't vacume pack beautifully soft squishy bread. It would look like a tortilla. Lol

I notice that when we bring the freshest most coveted softess bread home, that there sometimes is condensation on the inside of the bag.So, when I see that I open the end of the bag til it dissipates and then close the bag. Being that it is a full loaf of bread the end piece kind of prevents the rest of the slices from drying out. And my mom likes the ends and dryer harder bread than the rest of our four generation household.I am also going to try the paper towel in the bottom of the breadbox tip too.

They put the paper towel under the bread inside the bag in the bread box if I read it right. The paper towel would not do anything under the bag of bread.

We take any bread, rolls etc and place them in the microwave for 10 -11 seconds and that kills the yeast that causes the mold. We have had bread that has lasted a month or so over the expiration date.

I don't know if you have a microwave, but if you do and it has a defrost button. You wrap a few slices with papettowls, put inivrowave and put defrost like 10 seconds, then add 1 sec at a time.

It comes out very soft and as it cools it will be as good as. If not better than original. Mist put on Defrost. If you just cook it it will be hard as a brick.

If I freeze bread, I put it into storage bag, get most air out then with a straw at one end of sipped bag, suck out air and quickly remove straw. Works for me

I always use gloves to handle bread when I'm either slicing the loaf or removing slices from the bag. I do the same with luncheon meats, cheeses, etc. These things seem to get moldy faster if you're handling them a lot.

For burger/hot dog rolls, I wrap 1 or 2 rolls in waxed paper sheets and put them back in the bag before freezing so it's easy to remove just the quantity you need. I freeze all types of bread (fruit/nut, rye, pumpernickle, etc.) and they're fine.

Modern vacuum sealing machines have a special setting for baked goods. In addition, the bags are of a much higher quality and the seal is measurably better than anything you could get by double bagging or using ziploks. We are a household of two, and for things like hot dog rolls, freezing is pretty much our only option.

I put fresh sliced bread in the freezer and it is still soft and fresh when I take it out as there are only 2 of us I have taken out a couple of slices and reseal the bag this works well for me as I live in Louisiana and humidity is a big problem
