What’s the best way to store bread? (hexbear.net)

I’ve been buying this really nice fresh bakery bread on occasion recently. It’s good, but I don’t go through it super quickly so it’s sitting around for like 4 days give or take. I’d like to keep it relatively fresh for as long as possible and I’m wondering the best way to do that? Right now I keep it in a zip loc bag just on the table which seems to work okay, but I’m wondering if there’s something else that would be better. I’m not too worried about it going stale so much as I am about it getting moldy - especially as we move into the summer months. It gets quite humid where I am. Again I don’t need to keep it fresh for like, weeks and weeks, but just for like 4 or 5 days, something like that.

If it happens to be sourdough or dark bread it might stay good a long time due to natural preservatives. Fermented rye bread can last for weeks.

But typically fast baked yeasted breads molds pretty fast. It might be some sort of preservative heavy forever bread as well.
