Why does bread mold faster then water

It's difficult to avoid mold since mold spores are always airbourne.
For all things to grow, you need a source of nutrients, water and a good enviroment.
Bread has a source of nutrients (carbs and protiens) and some moisture inherent in the product.
Water is just water... no nutrients unless you add some.
That's why bread molds faster than water.
Also, bread will mold faster if you add additional moisture to the loaf.

Water doesn't mold. It can become stale tasting when its sitting in a container for a long time. Or it can grow bacteria if its exposed to air and heat. Bread has moisture and yeast in it. When exposed to more moisture in a closed environment, the molecular structure changes over time and mold is created as a result. Bread eating bread. Yum!

Mold is like anything living, it needs water to sustain itself. The bread is the carbohydrate food source, and the water supports the structure of the organism.
