It’s just a fact: the best breads die young. Because of its short shelf life, we've all wondered how to keep bread fresh at one time or another. While there are many options for storing those beautiful bakery loaves , some of these options are better than others. In fact, one method is far superior to all others, and that’s the freezer. But if you’re short on freezer space or you just prefer to keep your bread at room temperature, we tested a handful of other bread storage methods and ranked them below.
Before you scroll to the results, you should keep a few things in mind. The first is that our kitchen is definitely not a climate-controlled lab. We tested these methods over the course of two hot, humid weeks in the Midwest, so your mileage may vary. Another thing to note is that we’re only considering homemade and artisan bread here.
With those disclaimers out of the way, here are seven ways to store bread, ranked from best to worst. And the worst just might surprise you.
