In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays let’s take it easy on posting, too. Ask a simple question…nothing that requires a lengthy response. It’s a great way to make new blogging friends!
Now that the hot weather is upon us, I got to wondering about how people store their bread. I know, I can be an odd duck sometimes. So my question for you this week is:
How or where do you store your bread?
My mom always stored our bread in the refrigerator. It helps keep the bread fresher longer, and now I do the same thing. My bread always has to be soft and cold to make the perfect sandwich. If it’s room temperature, it just isn’t the same. Besides, since we don’t have central air and the kitchen can become one of the hottest rooms of the house, I’d like my bread to last at least long enough between grocery trips. One of the traits I inherited from my mom is that I like my hot things hot and my cold things cold. Bread is one of the cold things.
Although, I could change my ways if I had a cool bread box to store the bread in:
Or maybe I should just build my own. That might make a fun project!

Welcome to this week’s edition of the new Friday Follow – be sure to leave a link when you follow so I can follow you back! Have a great weekend!
A note to those that are still using Internet Explorer 7 or earlier – you might have already run into a ‘Stack Error’ upon loading, but you can still view this blog after clicking OK. You may get an ‘abort’ error when trying to leave a comment, though – I haven’t figured out the offending code that IE doesn’t like. But you can fix that in your browser by following these steps:
Click on Tools, then Internet Options, then Security.
Choose Custom Level and scroll down until you see: Script ActiveX controls marked for safe scripting* – Disable that.
Click OK, then Apply…close browser and reopen and like magic, the “abort error” doesn’t show up any more.
Or upgrade to IE8, or even better, switch over to Firefox and problems everywhere will be solved! 😉

The bread bin might be pretty, but in soggy, hot, humid Lomellina the contents would not be after just a day.
It would be a heaving mess of green, blue and black mold trying to take over the kitchen.
Bread goes in the fridge. Like almost everything else.
Even open bags of pasta, rice, coffee, flour etc go in the fridge. We have these horrible moth things that lay lava in your dried goods in the summer and last year I had to throw away about 200 euros worth of my “hysterical food hording in case of disaster” cupboard because they had a party in there.
They even managed to get in the stuff in glass jars with (allegedly) hermetic seals.

I keep our bread in the fridge as well. I don’t have room for a bread box with limited counter space, so this works well for us.
I used to use a breadbox, but the bread got moldy REALLY fast. We keep it in the fridge now. My parents keep it in the cupboard though.
We keep bread in the fridge. My Midgets hate eating it cold but it gets moldy way too fast if we leave it out.
We use so much bread it tends to just hang out on the counter. I should get a bread box just so it’s not an eye sore, and that box is beautiful! If it looks like we’re not going to get through the loaf quicly I will stick it in the fridge. Stopping by from Friday Follow! Maria would like you to read ..The Winner
Hubby always makes our bread and rolls. We keep it in the frig but most of the time we toast our bread for sandwiches. I like mine very lightly toasted and hubby likes almost burnt. Works for us. If I had a really cool bread box like that one I wouldn’t use it for bead, I would probably use it for cloth napkins or more spices and nuts.

I used to work in “bread” and we kept all the bread in the store out at “air” temperature. People would come in and buy 10-20loaves at a time. I don’t know where they kept it. A loaf of bread was designed to last 8days in normal room temp. If it was summer? some went a bit “off” faster then others. I definitely recognize the smell of off bread. We keep anything we couldn’t use in 8days in the freezer at home. I also know all the color codes still for our local bread. I can tell by the color tag which bread was baked on which day. Also there was no delivery of Bread on Monday’s because the Bakery didn’t bake on Sundays.
Hubbie took a food science course in Uni and he told me something about bread not susposed to be in the fridge? but do you think I can remember why?
There is always something about IE harassing poor Stacy.
My mom use to freeze bread- why bother? We’ve got so much stuff in our fridge it wouldn’t even fit. Actually, hubby is the only bread eater so it just goes in the pantry.
I use my breadbox for storing our vitamins, daily meds and gum,lol.
I keep my bread in the fridge. When it’s on sale I buy few loafs and put them in the freezer. Bibi would like you to read ..Aloha Friday #8 & The Golden Girls
That breadbox is gorgeous! Mine would look like a pine box… Lol. I keep mine out in a plastic bread storage/slicer. I make it fresh & we eat it in a day or two so out on the counter works for us. If I make extra, I freeze it.
I put my bread in the frig for the same reason. Have a great weekend, and if you have some time stop at my blog and check out my CD give-away! THANKS! Long live ROCK & ROLL!
I always wanted a bread box, but since I don’t have enough counter space the pantry will have to do. I found you from Friday Follow and I’m going to try to follow you. For some reason your friends aren’t showing up. I will be back to check shortly. Have a great weekend!
Well, as I started reading more of your blog I realized I am already a follower! 🙂
I feel like I’m bombarding you with comments, but I’m not sure if my last comment went through. I just wanted to wish a Happy Friday. Also I always wanted a bread box, but with no counter space I just use the pantry.
I have never kept mine in the fridge but it sounds like a great idea.
I have to put my information in everytime I visit with you, I wonder why.

I store our bread in the refrigerator. It really does last longer and keeps fresher that way. When I store on my counter, it got moldy. Happy Aloha Friday!
I’m with you – bread is a “cold thing”. I fear mold. BUT, given my husband’s penchant for making homemade bread, I’ve been dreaming of a really cool (airtight) bread box for months now. . . if you find one, let me know!
I’m ashamed to admit that we keep the bread on the counter. Sometimes when I can’t stand the clutter I move it to the pantry.
I freeze my bread until its time to use it. Bread disappears FAST in my house!

I buy the fresh baked bread (italian) at the super market or the bakery and freeze it. That way it stays cushy and fresh til we’re ready to eat it. We just let it thaw on the counter, Mmmmmmm. It doesn’t stay on the counter long with a family of 5…so in answer to your question. On the counter. ;o) sheila would like you to read ..Driving Ms. Crazy
I buy a bread made from Arnold’s currently because it is whole wheat and does not contain corn syrup. However, our family really loves Kamut Khorasan Wheat bc it is so so healthy and the taste and texture is wonderful. So I am hoping to make up some homemade breads and plan on freezing them in our deep chest freezer! I read that works for up to 3 months 🙂 Can’t wait!
I would love that bread keeper!!

We use so much bread it tends to just hang out on the counter. I should get a bread box just so it’s not an eye sore, and that box is beautiful! If it looks like we’re not going to get through the loaf quicly I will stick it in the fridge. Stopping by from Friday Follow!

Hubby always makes our bread and rolls. We keep it in the frig but most of the time we toast our bread for sandwiches. I like mine very lightly toasted and hubby likes almost burnt. Works for us. If I had a really cool bread box like that one I wouldn’t use it for bead, I would probably use it for cloth napkins or more spices and nuts.

I have a bread bin, but rarely use it! I tend to freeze bread to make it last longer, or if I know It will be used quickly, just keep it in the normal cupboards

I used to work in “bread” and we kept all the bread in the store out at “air” temperature. People would come in and buy 10-20loaves at a time. I don’t know where they kept it. A loaf of bread was designed to last 8days in normal room temp. If it was summer? some went a bit “off” faster then others. I definitely recognize the smell of off bread. We keep anything we couldn’t use in 8days in the freezer at home. I also know all the color codes still for our local bread. I can tell by the color tag which bread was baked on which day. Also there was no delivery of Bread on Monday’s because the Bakery didn’t bake on Sundays.
Hubbie took a food science course in Uni and he told me something about bread not susposed to be in the fridge? but do you think I can remember why?
There is always something about IE harassing poor Stacy.
My mom use to freeze bread- why bother? We’ve got so much stuff in our fridge it wouldn’t even fit. Actually, hubby is the only bread eater so it just goes in the pantry.
Have a great day!

I use my breadbox for storing our vitamins, daily meds and gum,lol.
I keep my bread in the fridge. When it’s on sale I buy few loafs and put them in the freezer.

That breadbox is gorgeous! Mine would look like a pine box… Lol. I keep mine out in a plastic bread storage/slicer. I make it fresh & we eat it in a day or two so out on the counter works for us. If I make extra, I freeze it.
I keep our bread in bread box.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
Happy Friday and enjoy the weekend.

I put my bread in the frig for the same reason. Have a great weekend, and if you have some time stop at my blog and check out my CD give-away! THANKS! Long live ROCK & ROLL!
I always wanted a bread box, but since I don’t have enough counter space the pantry will have to do. I found you from Friday Follow and I’m going to try to follow you. For some reason your friends aren’t showing up. I will be back to check shortly. Have a great weekend!

Well, as I started reading more of your blog I realized I am already a follower! 🙂
I feel like I’m bombarding you with comments, but I’m not sure if my last comment went through. I just wanted to wish a Happy Friday. Also I always wanted a bread box, but with no counter space I just use the pantry.
I keep my bread in the refrigerator!

I have never kept mine in the fridge but it sounds like a great idea.
I have to put my information in everytime I visit with you, I wonder why.
Probably one of those microsoft updates that always messes with me!
Have a great weekend.

I store our bread in the refrigerator. It really does last longer and keeps fresher that way. When I store on my counter, it got moldy. Happy Aloha Friday!

I’m with you – bread is a “cold thing”. I fear mold. BUT, given my husband’s penchant for making homemade bread, I’ve been dreaming of a really cool (airtight) bread box for months now. . . if you find one, let me know!
I’m ashamed to admit that we keep the bread on the counter. Sometimes when I can’t stand the clutter I move it to the pantry.
Thanks for stopping by!

I freeze my bread until its time to use it. Bread disappears FAST in my house!
Thanks for stopping by, and you can bring the lemons for the Margaritas’ for later when we build a fire, so just plan on staying over. No drinking & driving. Dave will play guitar so bring your singing voice too! WOO HOO PAR-TAY!

I store my extra loaves in the freezer and the open one in the fridge. When my husband and I first got married he thought I was insane, but now he can’t stand bread that isn’t stored in the fridge.

My grandmother had a bread box like that. I think my sister does too. I don’t keep mine in the refrigerator, but on top of it!
Sometimes I do freeze a loaf if I get extra, though.

I love my bread warm but then again so does mold so into the fridge it goes
I keep my bread on the shelf…boring I know 🙂 I’d love to have a bread box too! And I’m with you, Firefox is my browser and for quite a while now 😉

I had no idea so many people kept bread in the fridge, lol. I keep ours in a basket on top of the fridge. There usually isn’t enough room in the fridge to put it there without getting squashed.
I have a bread box and love it! Now I also have some carb loving kids so it never goes bad before we eat it.

I always thought bread was supposed to be kept in the fridge! When someone got us a breadbox for our wedding, I put our potholders in it until I was told differently.

I just keep it on the table in the kitchen and try to use it before it goes bad. If it’s out for too many days and I don’t want it to go stale, I’ll put it in the refridgerator.

I buy the fresh baked bread (italian) at the super market or the bakery and freeze it. That way it stays cushy and fresh til we’re ready to eat it. We just let it thaw on the counter, Mmmmmmm. It doesn’t stay on the counter long with a family of 5…so in answer to your question. On the counter. ;o)

I buy a bread made from Arnold’s currently because it is whole wheat and does not contain corn syrup. However, our family really loves Kamut Khorasan Wheat bc it is so so healthy and the taste and texture is wonderful. So I am hoping to make up some homemade breads and plan on freezing them in our deep chest freezer! I read that works for up to 3 months 🙂 Can’t wait!
