How to keep bread soft longer: 3 effective tips
Learn about effective ways to prevent staling and spoilage of bread. SSPDaily has collected useful tips that will help keep the loaf soft and tasty for longer.
Optimal storage of bread
To preserve the softness of bread, it is recommended to store it in a bread box or paper bag to prevent moisture loss and preserve its texture. Additionally, placing a slice of apple or a piece of celery in the container can help to retain moisture and keep the bread fresh for longer.
Freeze portions of bread
When you have extra bread that you won't eat right away, it's a good idea to cut it into smaller portions and store it in the freezer. This will keep the bread soft and fresh, and you'll only need to take out the right amount of slices without defrosting the entire loaf.
Recovering in the microwave
If the bread has hardened, you can revive it by lightly dampening a paper towel and wrapping it around the bread. Then put the bread in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to moisten and soften it, being careful not to overheat it so as not to make the bread hard.
