From Sydney. I always slice my bread once cooled, lay the slices flat on a lined tray and freeze. Once frozen I put it in a bag of some kind or old pillowcase and replace into the freezer. It lasts ages in the freezer. Plus, I make it just for me so I'm the only one eating it. P.S Your Easy Everyday Sourdough Bread recipe is my go-to every time! Its brilliant!

Fantastic tips! I have so many different bread bags & containers. After watching your video, now I know how to use them properly. I could never figure out why my bread got moldy or stale regardless if I placed it on counter or refrigerator. I'm so glad I bumped into your video. Be well!

Best advice I've heard so far! Thank you! Up here on the dry prairies of Alberta Canada linen/cotton just won't do! I reuse plastic bread bags til they're holey or show mould 😊

[NorAlb_Chainsaw_Carver]

Very good advice. Where I live it's very dry all the time, and would never think of using a bag because my bread would be rock hard in no time!

Thank you for this! Doing research, searching for more of a homemade simpler lifestyle and baking bread is on my list!

Thanks Elly. I’ve been doing the wrap it in a tea towel thing after asking my grandmother what they did before zippy bags were around. But it’s drying out so fast. I’ve started doing the tangzhong method which helps, but I’m still having to rush to eat it before it turns into a rock. I always have a dehumidifier running in my house so no wonder. I’ll switch to a container. I just bought a couple of big ones anyway so I don’t need to feel guilty about using zippy bags anymore. Yay!

Spending the next two days making bread loads and buns This is great info.

Great topic and video as usual Elly! Thank you! Im in San Diego, California and find my sourdough starts to dry out by the 2nd day. I cut it into slices with an electric meat/cheese slicer and freeze it in a plastic freezer bag making sure to squeeze most of the air out. It comes out of the freezer as good as it went in. The cheese/meat slicer cuts perfectly uniform slices and they don’t cost much more then one of those great bread knives! 🥖

Omg you just saved me! Thank you! Thank you! I live in the USA in the south and it’s so humid here in the summer. I wondered if a tea towel sack would help.

I had a loaf of bread (store bought Nature Own Hand Crafted Thick slice) in my van in Florida in July for over a week. Sure the van got up to 120F inside the middle of the day. I was surprised it was still soft, did not have any mold or smell. Had a few sandwiches and it was fine.

Elly, Interesting and needed. I have a linen Bag I got from Amazon I use for Cool weather.
Summer: there is an inner bag in Large Cereal Box that I save and use. They are perfect.
It works. I am waiting for you to do a Sourdough Sandwich Bread. I made two loaves yesterday a New Recipe....It was a recipe for one loaf. Rather than ratio doing...I made one
loaf and then quickly mixed another loaf. It was excellent.

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a bread maker and had not even thought about this. Makes sense about the climate.

[kathrinekerns]

I have even crumbled up my bread. Put it in my dehydrator for a time. And ccx used it for bread crumbs. Keep it in vhf the freezer and it lasts a good long time.

Great tips Elly! I'm a newbie to sourdough, your videos have been very helpful. Hello from Hong Kong btw

[joasia]

Love your videos! I have been able to rescue my loaves when they got some surface mold that did not penetrate the crust. I washed the mold of the loaf under cold water tap trying not to get the water onto the cut side. I place the clean loaf immediately in an oven preheated to 250 C for a few minutes approx. 8-10 min. I cut off and discard the 1st slice and the rest of the loaf tastes like freshly baked.

Thank you so much!! Will definitely give it a try!

This is a timely post for me as I’m experiencing this problem.
I’ll try the bags or tea towel.
The Zip Lock bag is not letting it breathe.
Thanks so much.
