I guess my grandma who stored her bread in red and white checkered linen pillow cases wasn't so crazy.
A pillow case is such a great idea. I use a flour bag and a rice bag. Or you could use a ham bag.
Little did we know she was a genius haha
Another solution is to wrap it , when cold , into a kitchen paper, and then in a light plastic bag , and then into the fridge. The paper absorbés the excess moisture, while the bread remains fresh without any mold. In this way its grilled version tastes great! Also, you can moist all around a loaf of , say, 3 or 5 days, put it in the oven for 15 ´ in 200°C preheated temp., and it becomes like freshly baked-- a baker’s secret to me!! ❤️👍
+1 on linen bags for bread. What we do is (after fully cooled) put the loaf into a linen bag, then put that into a plastic grocery store bag and put that in the refrigerator. Yes, there is the bad side of the fridge, but this way we get zero mold and have had bread stay good for easily 2 or even 3 weeks. When we cut a slice of cold bread, we microwave it for maybe 10-15 seconds just so it's slightly above room temperature. (These are loaves with no oil or dairy, just flour water salt yeast and various extras like wheat bran or seeds)
Microwave the bread?you radiate good food,that's even worst than buying a store bread with all the nasty ingredients. Throw the Microwave in the garbage
@@esteraruben5629 No, it's not worse than store bought bread, give me a break!!
I give you a break, just wanted to open your eyes to the truth, is your health and your choice. Microwave = radiation
@esteraruben5629 Also stay out of the sun and away from radiant heaters! Wear a tin foil hat to be completely safe!
Thanks! I had a simple question, when to put into the bag! Appreciate your input
Your bread looks great and tasty! I'm glad you found something that works for you when storing your bread. I live in Missouri, and humidity probably plays a role in what works there versus what works here, but this is what I found to work perfectly here. First off, yes real cloth is better, health wise, than plastic, but I don't have a problem with mold with plastic and here's why. When I make homemade sandwich/slicing bread (no fancy artisan bread), I let it 100% completely cool for a few hours before storing it. I simply place it in a gallon twist tie plastic bag, those cheap ones you get from Walmart. I get out as much air as possible before tying it AND (here's the key) store it OUT of the sunlight. If it's placed where the warm sun shines on it, condensation happens and then mold will happen. I do not store in the fridge for the very reason you said. I store in the bag, on the counter, and out of the sunlight. I make two loaves at a time and most often they don't make it but 5 days, but once we were gone for a quite a while and after two weeks, my bread was still fresh, soft, and not moldy. So, that works here.
My kitchen is north facing and bread is never stored in sunlight but will still mold in plastic (I've let it cool for 8 hours before(, must just be different environments but I'm glad you found something that works for you.
I love your cookbook. I use the Master Dough recipe several times a week because family LOVES the bread. These bread bags are a great suggestion. My friend knows how much I love making bread and bought me a couple for Christmas and I loved them.
oooh! I really enjoy swapping disposables out for reusables especially when it doesn't take much more effort. I didn't even think about our bread bags. When we run out of our box of plastic bags I will upgrade to linen bags. Haha, so excited I may swap them out early!
Thank you for your research and sharing it with us!!!
Thank you for this video. Linen is such an incredible fabric! It also has healing properties and protection from EMFs.
😃❤❤Perfect timing I was just thinking this very thing!!!! I hate using plastic bags.
Nice, Melissa! I like it. These would make good small game bags also, if they were a little bigger I think they would make good big game bags also.
Ill have to check out the linen bags. Out of sheer laziness, I keep my dutch oven on my stove top and store my artisan bread inside. I often eat within couple days anyway but not sure how much it breathes in there with lid on, except for when I open it up couple times a day to sneak a bite. I guess could cover top of it with tea towel then put lid on so there's perhaps just a crack of air filtering in. 😊
Cotton is a natural wicking material for moisture. I would say it's drawing the moisture out of the bread so it dries out sooner than linen. 🥰
Cotton actually absorbs moisture and does not wick. For instance if you're hiking, you should go with a wool shirt instead of cotton as it will wick away the moisture from your skin but cotton will soak up the sweat and will stay wet longer.
@@MichelleBrown-it6rq do you wear wool in the summer?
I want to get away from synthetic.
A nice clean food scenery here.
Great.
It's a song 'n flower for you.
What a great idea, I have just been keeping my bread in the oven overnight for it to cool, but my kids eat it all within two days. I do have yards and yards of linen fabric and I wonder about making a basket wrap to keep the bread in. I remember my grandmother always serving rolls in a basket with a light fabric wrapped around them way be in the 70s and 80s.
You could make it with a draw string.
Great idea to stay with natural fabrics
Great info, I had no idea there were even bread bags.
Homemade Bread yummy. Thanks for sharing
I'm a newbie. Learned a few valuable tips this morning. Thanks! Hopefully, sooner than later, I'd like to dive into the sour dough adventure!
Thanks for the information.
Great idea
Thank you!!!
I like to eat bread in bed. I use linen bed sheets. I've always known I was doing it right 😃😃❤️❤️. Thanks for this instructional video it was very helpful 😃❤️
I need to get some bread bags.
Yay top 3 likes and first comment. Love your videos. Happy holidays!
Thank You.
Great tips!
So glad to hear!
Very interesting, TFS
Nice! I'm going to check out your linen bags for sure. I store my store-bought bread in the freezer now, because it was going bad in the fridge, but it would also get moldy if I left it sit out or in a cupboard. I will try this and see how it goes. :)
What do You put your sandwich bread in to store it in the freezer?
Good blessed morning to you all.
Fascinating 🖖👽👍
So I just got two new linen bags for my bread. Two days ago I baked a loaf and put it in one of my bags. I went to get some bread, just 10 minutes ago, and it was hard as a rock. I feel utterly duped.
Was it a sandwich loaf or artisan style?
What do you use to freeze it in?
Did u try double bagging the cotton bags?
We normally freeze our bread, cornbread and rye bread as we cannot eat them quick enough before they dry out. Can you use these bread bags to freeze the breads? Now, we use plastic for this. Thanks!
I would like to add that it was a small loaf that I made in my bread machine…. My concern is not with mole, just for 2days to have soft bread
How long should you let the bread cool before putting in bag?
What about wrappings it in wax paper?
What if you put loaf bread in the linen bread bag then in a sealed Tupperware? Will it stay soft longer?
I don't eat bread fast enough, so how do you freeze it in the meantime?
Ziplock bag reusable for me keeps it fresh..!
I just use a plastic bag with a twist tie in my firdge. Lasts for a couple of weeks.
What about freezing extra loaves? I can't imagine the linen bags would freeze well. I make a large batch of bread, 6+ loaves at a time and freeze the extra in freezer bags, then thaw as needed.. but I have to use plastic freezer bags.. not ideal and not very reusable.. Suggestions?
I wrap my things in wax paper before placing in plastic bags.
Chuck Norris' daughter is mighty pretty and a good cook...
Subbed...
I love my plastic loaf container, but I hate my food touching plastic. I will wrap my bread in wax paper before placing it the container. I do have the linen bags, but I haven't tried them yet, because I store my bread sliced, for convenience.
Will the fridge smell not get into the bed with cotton or linen? My fridge started to smell last year. I have tried baking soda, charcoal, dish soap, alcohol, and peroxide but the smell persists. I have to keep everything in plastic ever since.
Preservatives or not I have really not noticed that bread molding is different.
I wonder if a cotton/linen pillowcase would work?
I tried a blend and find 100% linen is best for me
What is it ok to put in the load with the linen bags when you wash?
No . Wash by hand in water or vinegar / water combo.
I heard acidic solution shortens fabric age. How about hand washing with water and a little of dish soap?
Doesn’t it rotten in mid room ? Don’t we have to put it in freezer to avoid rotting?
I use your wonderful no knead bread recipe. My bread does not last even 2 days. Usually gone in 24!!
But I want to make some of these wonderful bags for storage.
I've never had a problem with mold, but it becomes hard as a rock very quickly with something other than the paper bag it came in. I'll have to try linen. 😀
I made a pure linen bread bag , cut a slice but overnight with my half a loaf unsliced, my one slice was hard as a rock, I have seen other reviews on other TH-cam regarding making bread bags
How do u keep your bread soft?
You freeze it in the linen bag? Electric knife won't squash bread.
Where are your linen bread bags made/sourced?
Are the linen bread bags made in the USA?
Why not just use the brown paper sack from the grocery store?
Kintu amar pauruti kalo hoyeche
I store it in my Belly!....lol
💚🌞
.
Just cut it into slices and freeze it
seems like there is pretty much no difference between bread bags and leaving it out in the open.
Want to really understand the difference between cotton and linen, wear a shirt made from each on a hot, humid summer day...
You're gonna need a smaller loaf.
Nope, it fits 😊
Wow didn't realise Americans don't know how to store and eat bread 🥪
Like your channel. But the best way to store bread is in the trash. Don't eat it.
