How long does fresh bread keep?Under what conditions will bread stay fresh longer?
The durability of bread depends on the bread type and the storage conditions. Bread with a high content of rye, some wholemeal bread and bread made with sourdough keeps fresh longer than bread rich in wheat. Bread boxes as well as clay or earthenware pots are very good places to keep bread fresh long. Air should circulate in containers with bread. This means the containers should not be airtight. Bread should be stored at room temperature. When stored in the refrigerator, bread loses moisture and becomes dry and stale.
