• If you buy pre-made or sliced ​​bread, you can leave the bread in its plastic wrap. Manufacturers recommend that users keep bread in its packaging to retain moisture.
• Someone thinks that hand-baked bread with paper on the table should be left, not even paper wrapped, and cut face down.This can properly preserve the crispness of the crust, but when exposed to the air, the bread will age within a few hours.

Store bread at room temperature for no more than 2 days. Room temperature is about 20ºC. Store bread in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, such as in a pantry or bread box.

• If there is high humidity indoors, bread can quickly become moldy when stored at room temperature. At this point, you can move straight to the step of freezing leftover bread when it's fresh.

Freeze leftover bread. If you have a lot of bread that is not going through a few days, the best way to preserve it is to freeze it. When you freeze bread, the temperature drops to a level sufficient to prevent the starch from recrystallizing and spoiling.

• Be sure to put the bread in a frozen plastic bag or sturdy foil, as regular household foil is not suitable for freezing.
• Label and date the bread so that the future bread won't turn into a mysterious cube that you can't guess at all.
• Consider slicing bread before freezing. That way, you won't have to cut the bread while it is frozen, and the bread is often hard to cut after defrosting.

Do not put bread in the refrigerator. Scientific studies have shown that bread in the refrigerator will be absorbed in moisture and spoil 3 times faster than when kept at room temperature. This is caused by a process called "starch degeneration," where the starch molecules crystallize and the bread becomes tough.

Thaw frozen bread. You should thaw the bread by leaving it at room temperature. Remove the wrapping on top of the bread and leave it as it is. If you prefer, you can bake the toast in the oven or toaster for a few minutes (no more than 5 minutes) so that the toast is crispy again. Note that the bread only tastes good when it is re-baked, after which it will be hardened even after re-baking. advertisement

Advice

• Many people believe that leaving slices of bread with a crunchy crust like a "lid" to help keep the moisture inside.
• If you bought fresh bread or just finished baking, wait for the bread to cool before placing it in a plastic bag. The bread will be absorbed even if only remaining a little bit warm. You can let fresh bread on the table for a few hours to cool before wrapping.
• Bread containing oil or fat will last longer; for example, bread with olive oil, eggs, butter etc.

Warning

• Do not microwave frozen sandwiches - it will be damp and not delicious (sometimes chewy, sometimes chewy). However, for homemade breads that are fully cooled before slicing and stored in the freezer, you can warm them in the microwave to quickly restore the original texture and flavor of the bread. but the cake is not damp or chewy. You should test the bread heating time; It may take a few seconds depending on the thickness of the slice and the capacity of the microwave.
