The mother-in-law gave practical advice on how to store bread so that it does not stale and mold for a long time

A couple of years ago, Pyaterochka opened in our small town, and from that moment my wife and I began to buy food there. This choice, for the most part, depended on the distance, because we need to get to the city itself about 17 km, and this supermarket became the closest store (other stores were several kilometers further).

For the same reason (because of the long distance) we go to buy food 1 - 2 times a week, so each time we stock up on food for several days (including bread). Personally, I generally I can not live without bread and sometimes I even take it with a reserve .

At first, the bread from Pyaterochka was of pretty good quality, but over the last year I noticed that it began to harden rather quickly, and after 3 - 4 days it could even become moldy.

And this despite the fact that the storage conditions have always been the same (we just store bread in the kitchen cupboard).

I do not know what this may be connected with, but lately the quality of bread has been getting worse and worse..

And last week there was a situation out of the ordinary (my mother-in-law was our guest). We were all going to have lunch together and I went to the kitchen to cut the bread. And what was my surprise when I saw that the fresh bread, still sealed in packaging, began to grow moldy. But after all, only a couple of days have passed since the moment of its purchase!

"But what is it? Mold is already appearing on fresh bread! "I exclaimed, barely holding back my emotions. "This is all because you do not store the bread properly! - the mother-in-law answered with lightning speed. I had already prepared myself for a portion of reproaches and teachings, but, to my surprise, this time mother-in-law gave really good advice and told how to store bread so that it does not stale and mold for a long time.

It turns out everything is pretty simple. The first thing to do after buying bread is to get it out of the original packaging (if any).

Then we take the most common packaging bag.

And some kind of sharp object (like a fork).

Using a fork, we make several holes along the entire plane of the package (6 - 8 such punctures will be quite enough).

Then we pack the bread into this bag and send it for storage. Where would you think? You would never guess. We send bread to the refrigerator! With this storage, bread can stay fresh for a whole week and mold will not form on it. I've already tested this tip and it really works!
