Bread absolutely lasts longer when refrigerated
I put bread in the freezer because ot goes moldy fast in this climate
Wait you guys don't refrigerate your bread?
I do... I'm not a huge bread eater, it can go a couple weeks in the fridge without getting moldy where I live.
Hmm. I do, but that was mostly because I would make sandwiches for lunch at work and wanted to help the lunch meat stay cold until it got to the fridge at work. Now I'm mostly work from home...hmm. I likely eat a loaf quickly enough that it wouldn't go bad.
Refrigerating bread slows down mold growth...
This increasing the shelf life.
You don't have to refrigerate bread. But you can with clear reason.
It also makes it go stale really quickly. You should never refrigerate bread.
Freeze it or keep it in the cupboard.
Putting boiling water in the freezer is so useful, like you can cook it once and freeze it, then get it out when you need it and just reheat it a little.
True space saving pros dehydrate their water for ultra-compact storage.
Try living with a French room mate and find out what doesn't go in the fridge. Hint: everything.
My father taught me to put LSD bloaters in the fridge.
I'm going to leave It like that.

Yeah because you should refrigerate bread
Keeping bread in the fridge is generally considered unwise because it accelerates the staling process. This occurs due to the process of retrogradation, where the starches in the bread crystallise more quickly at cooler temperatures. As a result, bread becomes dry and loses its freshness faster compared to being stored at room temperature. For optimal freshness, it's better to store bread in a cool, dry place or freeze it if long-term storage is needed.
I live in a humid climate (especially in the summer), and if we don't refrigerate our bread and tortillas, or any baked goods, they get moldy in like 4 days.
Have you tried freezing it?
Refrigerating baked goods accelerates staleness, but most baked goods freeze well.
Bread outside the fridge spoils fast. Bread in the fridge lasts longer but is less fluffy. In this household we refrigerate our bread and then toast it lightly if we're going to eat it straight. Most of the sandwiches I make are toasted anyway.
I'm the first generation that decided to keep bread in fridge. My parents used wooden box.
My SO got a chuckle out of me because I instinctively put chocolate in the fridge. I grew up in a hot climate but I live in Canada now.
Someone I lived with temporarily kept the processed parmesan cheese (the dusty stuff in a jar) in the cupboard instead of the fridge. It baffled me.
Not my parents, me. Brown sugar goes in the freezer so it doesn't dry out and become a piece of granite.
Jars of stuff which expired years or even decades ago. They still do.
Well... a lot but we live in the desert so peanutbutter isn't shelf stable otherwise
I put hot sauce in the fridge. I know I don't need to, but it just feels right.
But then it becomes cold sauce???
Living in the tropics, it's rather common to refrigerate bread, else you run the risk of mould overnight.
If I don't put my bread in the fridge, it's moldy within a week. It's all meant to be toasted anyway.
Mine didn't refrigerate bread when I was growing up, but I do now. There are less people in the house so the bread stays around longer.
Mine refuse to refrigerate cheese (other than cream-cheese) and butter. Infuriates me as it gets super oily and rancid real fast.
