What is the best way to keep bread from getting all hard and moldy?!
Whenever I buy bread for my husband and I, even though it's the freshest bread I can find, it all gets hard and moldy in about three days!.
It's practically impossiable for us to eat a whole loaf that fast!.

Answers:
either put it in the fridge, or cut it in half and freeze one half and refrigerate the other!.
to thaw it out just put it out onto the counter for a few hours, or make sure it's pre sliced so when it's frozen you can just separate the slices!. or you could turn your oven on to about 200 degrees and thaw it for about 10 min!.!.!.
air tight frozen bread should last in the freezer for about 6 months!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have two ways to slow this process!.
1) If you slowly use bread products (Burger Buns, Hot Dog Buns, Sandwich Bread!.!.!.) you could freeze it and take out the product on a "I need it" basis!. You could then defrost in the microwave, grill (if you are grilling) or let it slowly defrost (this kind of leaves the bread soggy, though!.)!.
2) You could simply leave the bread in the fridge!. This has basically the same principle as the above idea; however it it better if you plan to use the product quickly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

don't put it in the refrigerator!. it will dry out quicker that way!.Keep it in a dry place, preferably a bread box!. That is why they were created but most people don't own them anymore!. I do, and my bread can last up to 2 weeks sometimes!. Keep it out of the heat, out of sunlight and keep it tightly sealed!.

Freeze your fresh bread as soon as you bring it home!. Take out only the slices you need when you are making something!. Put the frozen bread slices on a plate, wait 20 mins and the bread is ready to use!. No waste or blue moldWww@FoodAQ@Com
put it in a bag and seal it shut that no air can enter!. thats what my mom does with her pita bread!. she puts it in pita bread bags and seals it shut!. also put it in the freezer and use one at a time!Www@FoodAQ@Com
if you put bread in the frigerator instead of on the countertop!. it will not get moldy as fast!. i think the fridge makes the bread a bit tougher but it does work on the mold!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
U could try freezin it, then defrostin it the night before you need it, or even when u need it by stickin it in the microwave on defrost for about 20 seconds (depending on ur microwaves power)

what we do is we leave half the loaf out to use, and we freeze the rest!. That way we can defrost the bread when it's needed and it lasts a very very long time!. It saves alot of money!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
