SOFTER BREAD

If you are having problems with keeping your bread soft. You have tried all the fancy breadboxes and quick fixes, but nothing really seems to be working. Try this quick tip to keep it moister.

When I get my bread home, I remove the plastic or wire clip that is keeping the bag closed with a tightly closing kitchen clip. This will help keep your bread fresh for at least 3-4 days.

If you don't use bread very often and want it to stay soft for about a week or so, try placing a cleaned and dried stalk of celery into the bag with the bread and tightly seal it. The bread will remain softer because the celery provides just a bit of moisture.

When keeping bread for longer than 4-5 days, spot check before each use for any mold that might be forming.
