Have you tried freezing it?

Refrigerating baked goods accelerates staleness, but most baked goods freeze well.

Frozen bread or bust. No one's wants that cardboard you kept in the fridge.

I’ve had bread in the freezer for months, I throw it straight in the toaster and it comes out like, well… normal ass toast.

Good to know, I recently started getting bread from a local bakery but it doesn't last, I'll have to try freezing it next time

[-] Worf@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Make sure you cut it first if it’s not sliced, it’s a lot easier to deal with before you freeze it

Oh my god, yes. Otherwise you have a blunt force trauma weapon

Like a poor man's dwarf bread. If only we knew the real recipe.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago

Freeze it every time.

If you're anything less than a family of four, leaving bread at room temperature is just eating half a loaf of bread and then throwing away half a loaf of mouldy bread.

Most supermarket bread has indeed already been frozen before you get it.

I even freeze all the cakes from Costco, since they only seem to come in packs of about a thousand.

In my area it's common to buy bread daily

Only exception for me is tortillas. I mean they technically freeze well, but they will also stick together which would make quite a thick burrito.

My parents always freeze them and I always forget until I'm there trying to make a burrito and it tears in half.

yup. tortillas go in the fridge so you can get individual ones easily. Staleness never really bothered me, but i do warm them up on the stove to improve malleability. And i like to get my burritos a little crispy on the outside to help seal the final fold. Now i want burritos...

I freeze tortillas, one trick to using them after they thaw is rolling the whole package a couple of times both ways.

Still have to be careful separating them, but it's no worse than a package of tortilla that has sat underneath too much weight for too long.

This trick also works with tortillas that sat underneath too much weight for too long

Chuck them in the microwave or better yet put baking paper (which if i recall correctly you usians call wax paper or parchment paper) in between each tortilla before you freeze it to keep them seperate

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

This is the way. It's all I do.

If I'm going to use the bread in the next couple days? I'll keep it out. Otherwise, I put all my baked goods/bread in the freezer, and extra freezer I bought. Keeps for months. 6+ months if you're lucky and willing to deal with it being overly dry.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, we freeze some as well
