The freshly made bread can be stored for a few days

Freshly made bread can usually be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, refrigerated for 5-7 days, and frozen for up to 1 month. The storage time is affected by factors such as bread composition, storage environment, and packaging method. The main components of bread are flour, yeast, sugar, and water, which can easily breed mold and bacteria at room temperature. Handmade bread without added preservatives may become moldy overnight in high temperature and humid environments during summer. The evaporation of moisture in bread can cause the taste to harden, while starch aging can also affect the flavor. High content bread with added oils, eggs, or dairy products is more prone to spoilage, such as cream bread, cheese buns, etc. This type of bread is recommended to be consumed within 24 hours or stored refrigerated. Whole wheat bread and mixed grain bread have a relatively slow microbial growth rate due to their high dietary fiber content, but should not exceed 3 days.

It is recommended to seal the bread and store it in a cool and dry place. Slicing, packaging, and freezing can preserve the taste to the greatest extent possible. Before consumption, reheat the bread in an oven or pan to restore its crispy texture. Pay attention to whether there are mold spots or sour taste on the surface of the bread, and discard spoiled bread immediately.
