Shelf Life After Baking

Bread should be stored in the original package at room temperature and used within 5 to 7 days. Bread stored in the refrigerator will have a longer shelf-life due to delaying mold growth. Expect a 2- to 3-month shelf-life of bread stored in the freezer. Cream style bakery goods containing eggs, cream cheese, whipped cream and/or custards should be refrigerated for no longer than 3 days.

If you are a bachelor it last until the bread is gone after you pick away all the green fuzzy stuff

refrigerated is good ..and its good as long as its not growing mold on it and not hard..

it will last about 2-3 more days if u refrigerated the bread..

Bread freezes well and can last for months in the freezer.

I've had bread lasts up to 2wks past the sell by date.You can also freeze it.

At least a week in summer, close to two weeks in winter. No, refrigerator isn't the answer--it just causes mold to grow. If you can't use it soon enough, put it in the freezer.

Not long. Maybe a day or two, before it starts tasting funny.

THINK 1 DAY OR U MAY BCUM ILL
