What's the Secret to Keeping Your Bread Fresh?

Inside Edition has some secrets about how to keep your bread tasting fresh. Amy Scherber, the owner of Amy's Bread in New York City says the fridge is a big bread no-no. If your bread has been sitting on the counter for a few days and it seems a little dry, there's a trick to bringing it back to life. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, spritz some water on the crust, and place the loaf directly on the oven rack. After five minutes, your bread will be fresh and crusty again.

I keep my bread in the fridge and it stays fresh, no mold, , and lasts longer, but it's bread from the grocery shelf

I keep mine in the fridge and it works great.

The way bread lasts less than a week when it's out on the counter, is ridiculous.
So I always put it in the refrigerator.
I've used it almost 2 weeks later (past expiration date) and it's fine.
And to zap it back to life... forget the oven.
Just put it in the microwave for 10 seconds 😉
I've been doing this for years and I've had no issues, but if I'm really skeptical I just buy another loaf 🍞 🙂

I always buy 2 loaves of bread and we eat one but I stick the unopened one in the freezer, when we pull the one out of the freezer and defrost it’s the softest bread I’ve ever put in my mouth. I honestly have never put bread in the fridge. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that has.

Okay, now my bread is in the freezer ✔️

Freezer Always. Never in the chiller.

then zap it in the microwave covered in moist paper towel.

If you like untoasted bread, put it in the fridge (cold stops food going bad). To stop condensation, remove the bag for a few hours for the bread to dry a bit before bagging it again.
I only eat toasted bread, so I keep it in the freezer.

If it gets too hot outside, I put it in the fridge. Otherwise it gets moldy too fast.

The golden girls asked this question once. 😂😂😂

[BrookieZeb]

If you think I'm going to turn my stove on to 375 to put the bread in there for 5 minutes you're nuts

[billyc]

Doesn't the preservatives make them last longer already?

[lisaboolee]

Best in the fridge as it breaks down the nasty starches that give you a bad tummy from them, for some people. Just like spaghetti and rice.✌️

[courtneyturner]

My dad puts the bread that he wants to toast in the fridge .

[nrp]

Have always placed bread in refrigerator. Never had a problem with freshness.

What's the difference between Freezer and Fridge??

Я из России и хочу чтоб НАТО распалась

[HowToChangeName]

People actually put their bread in fridge? I often just tuck in its plastic under its weight

[gb]

Who turning on an oven hot is the temperature been lately 🤷🏽‍♀️

[StudioTemple]

That’s madness. I don’t get any problems of putting a loaf of bread inside a refrigerator. Just because Inside Edition said don’t put bread in the fridge, doesn’t mean it’ll stop me from doing that.

i always put my stuff in freezer so it freezes, i feel like refrigerator doesn’t do much for a long period of time and you’ll likely forget to check it because you think since it’s in the fridge it’s okay. i have had bread that molded in the fridge before
