I live alone in central Mexico. As our "rainy season" has started again, I was fretting about my bread. The best I can buy is Orowheat sliced. I can only buy it once a month in the nearby big town. I had the bright idea to separate the slices, just like we do here with tortillas.
Be sure to change the touching face of each slice. I store the bread in its bags with ALL AIR PUSHED OUT, twisted and the whole thing put in a large, air-tight storage container. Works like a charm. Sometimes I do it when I start/open the bread and sometimes when the loaf is half gone. Both methods work suffice for the month or untill it's all used.
REMEMBER: Air is the enemy of your stored foods. Always push as much air OUT as you can before sealing any bag or container.

My Helgas mixed grain bread comes in a plastic bag container, should I leave it in the soft plastic container?
My comment is really about defrosting a loaf of Sandwich bread. When I get it out of the freezer I hang it by the tip of the opening, on a coffee cup hook. Leave it there until it is defrosted. The edges doesn't get hard at all.
There is just the two of us.
I have found that putting the bread in the microwave keeps it fresh longer ...up to ten days ... & no mold.!!!!
What does it mean to change the touching face of each slice?
True air pushed out of bag..storing...anything...helps preserve food lots longer!
I use the same method, then I have also used a plastic straw ( which can be washed and re-used) great if you have something in a ziplock bag that you don't want squished, getting the air out. Many years ago I heard a scientific conversation on the telly ( in the background) that got my attention. I was always throwing out things that had been opened, because of either mould, or just not looking so good anymore.
