Those who bake bread in a breadmaker...

We have a breadbin. I wrap the loaves in cling film and put them in there.

We don't use our breadmaker very often so when we do it doesn't last very long so I tend to just wrap it in tin foil and leave on the side (usually gone within a day or two) - not really very helpful!

We use a air tight container. Infact I think it is the same one I bought years ago before we met up that time.

Saying that it still only seems to stay 'fresh' for about 3 or 4 days.

Oooh, yes, where was that from? Was it a Lakeland one? We seem to be eating a loaf within 2-3 days atm so there's not really a lot of chance for it to go stale, it's just a case of somewhere to keep it where it won't dry out really. We're currently using tinfoil...

Currently i pop the loaf back into the breadmaker once both are cold. stays fine for 3 days x (if it lasts that long)

otherwise you could freeze half of each loaf?

Hi

I use these from Lakeland: /11535/12-large-breathable-fresh-homemade-bread-storage-bags

They are the same as the bags they use in the in store bakeries in supermarkets.

I store mine in 'lock and store' boxes which I got from lakeland. That said they only last 2 or 3 days at the most as they don't the perservatives that shop bought ones have.

I'm sure it was lakeland. I remember I got it in Pboro and there was one there. All I remember is the shop had a blue and yellow logo ?.

The usual in our house is that a good chunk of the loaf is eaten within about an hour of coming out of the breadmaker ? - we just wrap it in a clean teacloth and then slice it the next day and freeze it sliced, so we just take what we need out the freeer.

If you put a little oil or butter in the bread mix it should help the loaf last longer but still only 2-3 days probably.
