Keep bread in the fridge

In the fridge, I looked and we don't have an elsewhere.

I keep bread in the freezer.

Fridge

I don't refrigerate it unless it is going to be out more than a couple of days.

I keep ours on the fridge. I hate the texture it gets when it sits IN the fridge- plus my teeth are so sensitive that it actually hurts to chew cold bread. Anyway, it sits on top of the refrigerator. (My kitchen is too small to keep it on the counter!)

It can be frozen, put in the fridge or kept in the old fashioned bread box. Remember those? I think this depends on the temp and humidity in your home. I miss Mom's old bread box . . . I gotta see if I can find one on ebay or something.

I can never use it up in a few days, so I have to keep it in the fridge so it doesn't go off.

Bread tends to stay edible longer if it is stored in the refrigerator, however, it tends to also dry it out. It is best kept at room temperature, however it will not last as long and spoil, especially in humid climates. The best way I think is to slice it, then freeze it. You can then take out pieces at a time, either to defrost at room temperature, or toast.

We are in big dilemma here in upstate New York during the warmer seasons. It's just too humid to leave bread out for longer than a day, even then you might get mold, store-bought or homemade. And I hate putting it in the fridge. Yes, the mold doesn't grow as fast but the bread gets staler faster. What I try to do is wrap in up in a paper sack, tightly closed. This keeps out the light and some of the moisture of the bread. If I have just baked it that day and it still might be a tad warm, I leave the bag open for awhile. And try to keep it in the dark, no light. A bread box, especially made of clay is great. If I must put it in the fridge, doesn't paper sacks are better than plastic. I go to a lot of trouble to bake bread with great crust, French bread that crackles as is cools. I hate losing that when I put it in plastic. Bread just doesn't belong in plastic if you can help it. If you aren't going to use the bread up in 5-7 days, cut off the part you aren't going to use and freeze it immediately, air tight as possible. Then you could thaw it and place in in a 350° oven and reheat it for 10-15 minutes and you have almost like fresh:-) A huge clay pot on your counter is the best way to keep your bread fresh without the horrors of placing it in the fridge.

I always keep it in the fridge because it tends to get pretty humid here.

I keep it in the fridge. It goes bad so quick outside but lasts a long time if in the fridge.
