It has come to my attention that European do not refrigerate their bread, but question is. How do you keep it from getting mold?

Europeans - unlike Americans who shop once a week at Walmart because there's 10 miles to the nearest supermarket - tend to buy groceries almost daily (for most, it will be in walking distance - walking is not frowned upon over there, you see). Hence, they don't have to buy in excess.

We do keep milk in the fridge. Eggs don't need to be in the fridge because we don't bleach blast them creating millions of micro holes. Americans being scared of a little dirt on the part they throw in the bin is the fucked up thing.

When I moved to Japan, one thing I expressed surprise about was how small the grocery store was near me. My mom explained that in a lot of countries people shop every day.
I was like two minutes walk to that grocery store, so I ended up going almost every day too. It was easy to wait until stuff had been marked down, so even though it was kind of a higher end store I never paid full price.

There are 2 grocery stores within walking distance, and 5 more less than 3 miles from me.
I don't walk to them because it's 113° and I am not poor.

I buy groceries once a week because I don't want to have to spend an hour each day getting food.

even when I made my own bread I still add calcium propionate to limit mold growth.

refrigeration makes it go stale much faster.

[Anonymous No.16391922]

>>16391907
It's stale by the next day anyway. At least if it's refrigerated it won't get moldy after another couple days.

Refrigerated bread gets dry and stale quicker. I really only do it in the hottest days of summer, or when walking out the door to go out of town, in it goes!
If you plan to toast the bread when consuming it, doesn't matter much, but otherwise you're better off parking in the freezer and thawing it on the counter on the day you want it soft and fresh again.

As far as what euros do, mostly they buy bread that is utterly hard as a rock and stale within 24 hrs, so what they do is only buy what they wish to consume. Lots of breadcrumbs and bread pudding ensues.

I tend to buy a fresh bakery loaf and slice it myself and freeze it and take out a slice an hour or so before I intend to eat it with my dinner. similarly keep pittas in my freezer for work lunch
otherwise I will just get a small fresh roll in the shop on my way home. don't really keep sliced pans or anything like that

Bread should go stale rather than mouldy. The paper bags you get when you buy bread from a bakery will absorb moisture and let the bread dry out over the days. Plastic bags from supermarkets will trap the moisture and lead to mould. Stale bread can be used for many things like breadcrumbs, croutons, panade, French toast or bread and butter pudding.

Stale bread is part of its life cycle. Buy less more often.

This. I've never refrigerated bread and if anyone did it, I'd think they were incredibly weird.

>>16391787
Just eat it. I make my own bread all the time and it doesn't grow mold. If it gets stale, just toast it. Where are you keeping bread that leads to so much mold?

[Anonymous No.16394819]

>>16391114
I leave the bread out for 3-4 days, then put it in the fridge. Once the bread goes into the fridge, it starts getting stale af so I have to toast it, and I don't always want my bread toasted.

>How do you keep it from getting mold?

By eating a loaf before it even has time to go mouldy. Keep it in a dry area and eat it. How much bread do you buy that you have enough leftover long enough that it goes mouldy anyway?

[Anonymous No.16395520]

>>16393574
Whole wheat bread. Maybe that goes stale quicker. But I don't mean it's hard as a rock the next day, there's just a noticeable decline in texture and I end up warming the bread anyway to make it softer again. So it doesn't make much of a difference to me if it's left out or refrigerated.
