• All day until I started steady living with a woman. The twist tie or whatever must be attached at all times.

      Many years later we got a cheap plastic bread box and I gotta say it’s awesome. You can twist and tuck and the bread stays good even longer.

      you cut the top of a plastic bottle with a knife or any kind of cutter, as you got the top, you got the part that have a screw cap, so, the next you have to do is make the bag go trough the hole, turn back the plastic and then close it with the screw cap.

    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?

    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

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

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

      It is the optimal way. Lowest effort, fastest, same result, no additional stuff needed.

      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

      Yeast

      Honey (because sugar is boring)

      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.

    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.

      This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn’t at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.
