how do you keep white bread, and buns fresh longer?

Answer 1

i keep mine in the refrigerator... seems to keep fresh for a while.

Answer 2

Just get a Bread Machine. I nabbed mine at a Thrift Store for $10 and it works great. You literally just dump 6 or so ingredients into it and you get a loaf in 2.5 to 4 hours (depending on what type you're making). Most bread machines also have a setting where you can slow-bake it while you sleep or while you're at work and have it done by the time you're ready to eat it. As far as price goes, I think baking white bread might cost a little more than store-bought (like less than a quarter per loaf), but it tastes better and you don't ingest that enriched bleached garbage in return. Baking wheat bread is definitely cheaper. If you buy a bread machine, be sure to look up the machine's recipe booklet online. I found mine in .pdf form no problem. Also remember to use the exact portions or else the bread will probably not turn out. I've made about 4 loaves this past month, and they've all turned out great. Their especially good when used as a bread bowl for soups. Good luck!

Fridge is ok but the freezer does last longer. It only takes a few seconds in the microwave. Just take out what you need. Dont let the loaf thaw and go back in the freezer again.

I had a nice cupboard that sat in the corner of my kitchen on an outside wall. My bread had a longer life , up to one week longer than it did on the counter. But in the summer months you wouldnt want it there. To hot.

Answer 4

When you buy a loaf, or a new package of buns, remove only those you'll use within the next two days, seal the wrapper and stick the rest in the freezer. They'll keep about three weeks in the freezer before they start getting too dry. If they do appear dry when you defrost them, put 'em in the microwave and zap 'em on high for about 15 seconds. Believe it or not, that'll moisten 'em right up!

Answer 5

I don't seem to have that problem. I bake my own bread products and eat them fresh.

Freezing works well, too for store-bought breads.

For any of that bread that isn't moldy and has only dried out, you can sprinkle some herbs, powdered garlic, and spread some butter or olive oil on them. Toast it in a toaster oven, or in a normal oven, cut them up and use the bread as croutons.

You can also take that dried bread and grind it up in a food processor or blender to make breadcrumbs for fried chicken, fish, or stuffing.

Answer 6

Freeze them (bread sliced) and 20 seconds in the microwave (two slices or one bun) and they are fresh and ready to eat.

Answer 7

I keep mine in a bread box - keeps them fresher longer, different temps and lights make them spoil faster.

When buying them, digg to the back of the shelves the fresher ones are always in the back since the stores have to rotate to get rid of the older ones first

Answer 8

Any type of air tight container makes them last 3-4 times longer.

Answer 9

Staling is an irreversible process of the escape of moisture at the microscopic level. Refrigeration actually speeds this process. Freezing slows it down.

Answer 10

i keep all of my bread products in the refrigerator unless i plan on eating it the same day i purchase it. i find that it keeps for at least two weeks when it is refrigerated.

Answer 11

You don't say how long..I store bread in a stainless steel bread box..but if storing for long period of time freeze them
