It's french bread, I just posted sourdough because I like it. Even the sourdough I buy at the bakery doesn't last more than 5 days, though. It's frustrating, I don't want to have to the grocery or bake every other day just to have some fresh bread available.

Make sure your hands are very dry when you touch it and don't leave it near any warm or humid spots. Any water makes instant mold. Crusty bread should last longer.

5 day old bread isn't fresh. Bread is fresh for a day at best. Okay for day 2. You can't have week old nice loaves of bread stay nice.

How long would you want it to last? A month? Though, you can easily push for six to maximum of a seven days if you have an oven - simply sprinkle it with a few drops of water and throw it into the oven until it gets crispy again. A breadbox like the other anon said should do, too. If these are unfeasable for you and you can't go to the bakery more than twice a week, I'd frankly pass on the bread entirely; it's comfort food anyway.

A week, because that's how often I go to the store. I guess I'll check out a breadbox then, I didn't know if those things actually worked. The oven idea is a nice tip and I do have one, but my issue is with mold rather than the bread going stale.

Why would this stop bread from going moldy? Seems like the only thing it's good for is to stop bread from dying out, but you could use any container for that. No fresh bread without preservatives is going to last for weeks.

You can refrigerate it to stop it from going moldy so quickly, but then it gets a stale texture. You're better off freezing it if you can deal with that.

In my personal experience, homemade bread can last significantly longer than storebought stuff.
Though then again, if it was made in-store, then it shouldn't have spent too long in transit or storage.

I use somewhat more salt and oil than recipes recommend.

I've also heard people argue for egg or milk actually being protective (which I also use), but I'm kind of skeptical of that.


>>13007126
The idea I thinkis that although there are certainly organisms that can survive at that temperature, that the cooler it is the slower their biological processes go.
Same reason behind putting a bread starter in a fridge. It doesn't kill it, but it slows it (which is useful if you don't want to feed it as often).
Though yeast isn't mold, so I could be wrong.

>>13006945
>single-purpose and space-consuming containers
Consumerist scum.

Not sure if I've heard this before, but it makes sense.
Since if the mold is getting on it by air-borne spores, pushing as much air as you can away from it makes alot of sense.

Don't buy presliced bread without preservatives, it goes moldy faster because it has more surface area.
If you do buy bread, how fast it goes moldy depends on the climate. More humidity means more mold. A plastic bag keeps moisture in better than a paper one, but also results in growing more mold.
In a dry climate bread easily lasts for over a week before going moldy.

It depends on your climate. Mold spores have to be in the air. If you're in a relatively sterile, dry room you won't necessarily get much mold growth. I sometimes get some, but only long after the bread has staled.

Have any of you retards had basic science classes?

Mold is a microorganism. The better the conditions, the faster it'll grow. Two easy variables to alter are temperature and humidity.

>humidity: keep bread in bag or something similar with little air
>temperature: put it in the fridge or (if you don't want cold bread) try to keep it away from sources of heat and moisture

Sure that will keep the mold out, but it'll still ruin the bread. If anything the bread should be separated and frozen.

Just freeze the fucking bread, it doesn't suffer noticeably in taste and texture unless you leave it for a month or longer.

On another note, anyone tried "refreshing" bread by putting it in the oven after brushing it with water and covering it with tin foil? I've seen articles claiming this can make semi-old bread much better again.
