Homemade bread lasts about 3 to 4 days


Homemade bread lasts about 3 to 4 days
Homemade bread lasts about 3 to 4 days, Ever wonder why that wonderful freshloaf you bought at the bakery grows mold in a matter of days, while the grocery store variety can last for several weeks? The difference is preservatives, which can greatly extend the shelf life of mass-produced bread. But you also play a role in how long bread survives in your kitchen.
 
“In order to lengthen the shelf-life of bread it should be stored in a reasonably air-tight container,” recommends Ira Allen, a spokesperson for the Food and DrugAdministration (FDA). Humidity will also create a prime environment for bread to mold, so try to store bread in a dry place if possible. Homemade bread lasts about 3 to 4 days so when ever you bake bread at home you will have to us ing it between these days otherwise the bread is no more useful.
