Do you store wrapped or unwrapped breads in this?

If I've baked something, and I know that I'm going to consume it within a day or two, I sometimes leave it unwrapped. For anything else, I wrap it.

I leave them wrapped. I do notice that, in the old movies, they used to put the bread in loose. Not sure about the answer.

Personally I would store wrapped breads in any bread box. Seems to help keep them fresh for a longer period of time.

Wrapped, but other items besides bread like chips or plastic flatware. I have it to make sure a mouse or a roach isn't crawling around on things I eat or eat with.

I always wrap my breads... but I guess you could put unwrapped ones in it.. it has air holes at the back, though, so they'd probably go stale pretty quickly.

Yes, I freeze bread, rolls, pies, anything in them. I also put them in ziploc bags and everything comes out fresh. Take a hangar and when you use a bag, clip it to the hangar to re-use. I re-use all my bags but I clip them on hangars so I know that they are re-usable (nothing spilt in them etc.) I have been using for several years and have not been disappointed.

I freeze all my Udis bread. Then I pull it out 1 slice at a time and lightly toast it for sandwiches. You could set out several slices at a time in a container if you're going to eat them within a few days. Gluten free stuff should be left on the counter in a container or put in the freezer...the fridge dries it out.

I keep my unopened bags in the pantry. Once i open it i transfer it to a zip baggie and keep it in the frige. I honestly dont know if you shouldnt keep it in the pantry. I do know that the frige prolongs the life of your yeast.

Good question. I used it right away. If I was concerned about expiration, I would store it well wrapped in layers or in freezer ziplock bags in freezer. I have always heard that flour stored in the freezer could be used up to a year. Storing a high grain bread such as this... I wouldn't feel right just storing it in a cabinet at room temp, these types if flours go rancid easier and faster stored that way.

Our local grocer's stocks frozen loaves of Udi's white sandwich bread. I buy 3 or 4 loaves and keep them in the freezer and take one out to thaw in the fridge for the next sandwiches. Their bread keeps for at least a week. I even re-freeze bread crusts for stuffing. Good stuff! The bread is for my spouse, who prefers it toasted.

Yes, in fact I unplugged it and use it as a very nice, if expensive, Bread Box. I store bread, crackers and cereal in it.

the bread box is not an air tight type box so I would leave the bread in it's wrapper otherwise it will dry out. as far as the box itself it is a nice box and had a decent fit and finish to it but it is not airtight

There was no info on storage so I left mine tightly sealed in a cabinet. I know the ones in pre made boxes are shelved so that's what I did... I can't imagine putting it in the fridge would be a bad idea though, so whatever you are comfortable with..

I have done it before w store bought. One time we got store bought fresh bread and got home to find out it wasn't sliced... Wish I could use it with the rolls from the store but that would be tricky.

No - mine just rests in its closed position. No need for it to snap shut - it works just fine as it is.BTW - the lid never locks, as stated by Spencer W. - just as well, or you wouldn't be able to add fruit, etc. to 'sweet' breads. Also, you need to be able to add flour or water if the dough is too wet or dry during the first mix/knead cycle.

I don't know. I didn't keep mine. The bread keeper is so clunky and awkward. And the bread slicer broke after a few uses. I went to a wooden slicer guide and bread bags.

In my opinion it will not keep the bread any longer than if you left it outside the box; it is just a good way to organize it and keep it off your counters or in your microwave (as storage). Yes, leave it in the bag and you do have to clean crumbs out or you could get bugs.

Bags are gusseted. I have made French loaves using just a baking sheet, but also loaves in large and small sizes. No problem having loaf fit in bag and having room to twist tie.

I keep it in the plastic bag. I have a few different breads in there at any time. I do not know if it affects how long it stays fresh.

I bought mine to replace a cloth I'd had for years. I just scraped it with a flat blade, added a bit more flour, and scraped it again. Then I store it covered with paper towels, wrapped around the rolling pin and stored in a clean plastic bag. But if you're rolling out spicy dough, you might want to wash it with warm water and gentle cycle. Btw, I also bought the non-slip product to place the pastry cloth on...and roll it along with the whole thing. I love the non-slip thing as the cloth stays put!

If it is on regular bread most definitely. If it is on a roll I don't think so. The roll will probably get squished a little.
