Guest Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I was just reading another thread that some people store their homemade bread in Tupperware containers. I was wondering what other kinds of containers are out there to store homemade bread in. I made two beautiful loaves last night, but I always get so bummed when they don't fit in a ziploc.

prairiewindmomma Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Buy some bread bags. I purchase 2 mil bread bags in 100 packs. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I use ziplocs if they fit, wrap in plastic wrap if they don't. Although I usually only make 1 loaf at a time and a few slices get eaten as it is cooling, so they usually fit in the ziploc by the time they are cool enough to be put away anyway.

nukeswife Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Ooh I've never seen bread bags. Where do you get them? I also pack in bread bags and get mine from http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I store mine in a big glass jar with a glass lid. I put the cut side down to keep it from going stale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I keep it out, on the cutting board, with the cut side down. If the kitchen is very busy etc, then I wrap it in a clean dish towel, but still keep it cut side down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is usually us, except the current recipe I tried turned out two loaves. :) I also pack in bread bags and get mine from www.pleasanthillgrain.com I was just looking at some of the containers on this website and thinking maybe I'll have dh make me some kind of storage contraption.... I am bookmarking that website, looks like it would be fun to peruse when I have some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 If I make loaves I wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze it. I do have a great recipe for batter bread that makes only 1 loaf at a time and we'll generally eat that up pretty quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraciebytheBay Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I use this and keep the cut side up against the end. It is adjustable and fits longer loaves as well. http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-International-Adjustable-Bread-Keeper/dp/B001BB2LMM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1295021502&sr=8-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 What? :svengo: Y'all get to store homemade bread? :svengo: My kids demolish it as soon as it comes out of the bread maker. :glare: In fact, now a 2lb loaf is barely enough to feed 3 of them for breakfast. :001_huh: I can't even imagine getting a piece in for myself let alone needing to store it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlsdMama Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Use muslin bread bags. They let them breathe, are incredible inexpensive, really cute in a rustic way, very washable, and NOT plastic. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I use 2-gallon size ziploc bags (reusing the bag for several weeks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
