    It also makes it go stale really quickly. You should never refrigerate bread.

    Freeze it or keep it in the cupboard.

      I mean it doesnt go stale that fast.

      If you eat a sandwich or 2 a day you’ll go through the loaf faster than it will go stale in the fridge.

      Only keep it in the cupboard if you are in low temp/humidity area. If you live in an area thats high temp/humidity and don’t run ac constantly its gonna get moldy even faster.

      Mold can literally take hold overnight.

      Also tortillas make a great alternative for regular bread for a majority of food. And lasts longer in and out of the fridge.

        I have found the opposite, a vented breadbin keeps it cool and moisture escapes. put a bag in the fridge and the temp difference brings moisture out and condenses on the inside of bag, then boom mokd next day.

      Very much depends on the bread. I wouldn’t refridgerate toast or other super white breads, but moist, dark, kernely ryebreads are supposed to be refrigerated. They dry out super easily otherwise.
