Always eat the entire loaf in one sitting.
Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?

i have found that just tucking dries the bread just fast enough to not get mouldy, and dry bread can be just rehydrated by wetting it and putting it in an oven for a bit

people own bread boxes?
brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 minutes ago
I have one. We still use the plastic bags, but just needed a place to put it that wasn’t “out.”
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 57 minutes ago
At least three people on Earth own bread boxes. Elsewhere, I’m unsure.
Spezi@feddit.org 57 minutes ago
Since most of them are not airtight they suck like hell and they heat up in the summer to make a mold heaven. Some of them have gaps larger than a London subway station.

Guess I’m lawful neutral because I rarely lose the bag clip. I will use a clip when that happens.

I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something
someguy3@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

She probably is just afraid you will leave the bag open and then eat moldy bread.

How else to store real bread?
So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
It’s a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work bestanachrohack@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey

They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.

My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Gf does this with baked goods. It’s awful for me because I microwave a lot and don’t always remember to put stuff back and it gets stale.

Lawful neutral until 2/3. After neutral evil.

My neutral evil on a small partial loaf is basically rolling it until all the excess is tucked.

Step 1: get some real bread
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 50 minutes ago
Step Sigma: Bake your own bread
It’s way easier than you think it is to make a basic loaf of yeast-based, white bread. I had the recipe memorized for a few months while I was first getting into it.
iiffy on amounts but it ain’t many ingredients Bread Flower 4 cups Yeast Honey (oh yeah, son) Salt One Egg
Level 2: Add more honey, slightly less yeast and toss brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in melted butter in it while rolling.
bonus round: add raisins

For real. I recently discovered that the bakery at the chain supermarket across the street from me sells giant loaves of sourdough for about a dollar less than even the “budget” brands in the factory-made bread aisle. Not going back.

They usually have a bread slicer too

No other neutral evil folks? Ah well, I haven’t eaten bread in ages anyhow.
Eheran@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
It is the optimal way. Lowest effort, fastest, same result, no additional stuff needed.
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I’m making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I’ve got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you’re toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you’re making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.

What in the world is the bottle hack
PDFuego@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.
TheBat@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
That sounds chaotic evil to me tbh
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 10 hours ago
You cut the head off a bottle so you have the screwy-bit. Then you pull the open end through the bottle-Head and screw the lid on.

I tie a knot AND twist and tuck. Where does that leave me?
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
hark@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Reuse the bag clip if it exists, otherwise tie a knot.
phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
Chaotic evil would be rearranging the slices so they don’t work for easy sandwiches.
cley_faye@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I simply do not allow an open bag of bread to be left unless all the bread have been eaten. Problem solved.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
True chaotic evil.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 9 hours ago
I feel like this alignment chart doesn’t consider how evil you could get. Leaving the bag open seems pretty tame for CE. I suggest the following:
- Lawful Good: bread box w/ the bag
- Neutral Good: bag clip
- Chaotic Good: twist and tuck
- Lawful Neutral: bread box w/o the bag
- True Neutral: original bread clip
- Chaotic Neutral: twist or tuck, not both
- Lawful Evil: bag is tied shut
- Neutral Evil: bag is left open
- Chaotic Evil: bag is torn open in the middle
space_cat07@lemm.ee 7 hours ago
Chaotic evil: bread is tossed directly into the cupboard.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Chaotic evil: bread is kept on the floor.
Bruncvik@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Freezer bags, 4 slices per bag, in a freezer. That way I can take out only as much bread as I can eat before it gets moldy.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I’m just saying twist and tuck is the best because it seals well enough and it’s fast and requires no additional equipment. If you have a breadbox that’s peak convenience, but I’ve only seen one family that had one ever, and they had the counter space for it.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 9 hours ago
Also worth noting: a bread box generally isn’t sealed that well, I would still recommend keeping the bread in a bag (depending on what type it is and how quickly you plan to eat it).
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
We have a bread box but keep the bread in the bag inside the box.

Better put the bread box in the cupboard, just to be on the safe side.

Pros and cons of breadbox? Any paladins out there willing to enlighten us?
rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
Had one, hated it, forget the bread was in there and it doesn’t have some sort of magical bread preservation properties, it’s just a spot taking up counter space to hold a plastic bag.
db2@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Same here though, the bread turns to a brick of mold way before even getting close to the end.
The refrigerator might change the bread properties but at least it isn’t ruined in two days.
spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 hours ago
I’ve tried bread containers (like boxes, but sealed plastic) and it was awful. I swear it went moldy faster in the thing than outside it.
Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 hours ago
Plastic seals in moisture, wood absorbs it
miraclerandy@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
I am lawful neutral (use clip it came with) until about halfway through the loaf, then I become chaotic neutral (twist and tuck) at the back half.
There isn’t enough bag to properly twist and tuck until that point anyway.
spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 hours ago
I’m lawful neutral until I lose the bread clip and go chaotic neutral. Sometimes I’m lawful good the whole time, but I’ve been chaotic at the start and that’s fun!
Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 hours ago
I save the little clip things from packaged buns because they are way better than the twisty ties that usually come on sliced bread.
M137@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I twist, fold then put a clip on it. This also works well with the two common kinds of clips you get with the bag (plastic squareish thing with a hole like in the image and plastic thing with metal wire in it) and other clips you have yourself as the fold makes it so the bag doesn’t untwist as much.

I keep my bread in the fridge, and then it doesn’t matter.

This, keep it in fridge and only tuck.
Quick round in the toaster if needed for the cold bread, or not if it is used to make lunch to bring to work or something.
Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 minutes ago
I twist and tuck and keep it in a lower kitchen cabinet. Lasts so much longer than when I’d keep it in the counter. What is my alignment?
