Are you tired of your bread becoming dry or moldy in no time?
Good news—there’s an easy and unexpected trick to keep your bread fresher for up to seven days.
Experts from Too Good To Go suggest storing bread in a cloth bag as one of the best ways to keep it fresh. According to Express, this method allows the bread to "breathe" and slows down spoilage.
Want to take it a step further? Add a plain potato to the bag.
The potato helps regulate moisture inside the bag, keeping the bread fresh and soft. Here's what to do:
Allow the bread to cool to room temperature before storing it.
Place the bread in a cloth bag for proper ventilation.
Experts warn against using resealable plastic bags for freshly baked bread, as these can cause condensation, leading to faster spoilage.
For supermarket-sliced bread, it’s better to store it in the fridge to extend its shelf life. However, always check the bread before eating.
