We dont eat too much bread in our house everyday so at the end of the week by the time I am half way through the loaf it has already started molding. The idea is to have a compartment or barrier somewhere at the mid point of the bread. That way the yeast from the upper part cannot infect the entire
loaf.

So much easier than keeping your bread in the fridge / freezer. |
|
|
[dentworth] how exactly is freezing the bread solving your problem? you remove a couple of slices, defrost it and then place the rest back into the freezer? |
|
|
I remove only what I need, retie the bag, throw the bag back into the freezer. whats wrong with that? |
|
|
it takes seconds to defrost in the micro, sometimes I just make frozen sandwiches for the kids , let them sit on the counter [the sandwiches not the kids], and by the time they come it's defrosted. |
|
|
also, I was under the impression, the mold on bread was a totally different microrganism from the yeasts. remember penicillin? |
|
|
Freezing bread ruins the consistancy (at least for me).
It's not the yeast, but bacteria that causes the mold |
|

I like BrauBeaton's point. Packaged
bread isn't irradiated already? In places
where that's legal without scary
labelling, that would seem like an
obvious way of increasing its shelflife. |

Frozen bread is great for toast - just turn the dial up a couple of notches. |
|
|
Yes - you can toast bread straight from
frozen.
In our house we get
through a loaf of bread a day so this
problem never arises. The upside of this
is that it justifies the cost of a bread
machine. |

|
Fresh bread every morning. I wish I lived in your house. |
|
|
While I favor the freezer and generally frown on superfluous packaging (creating extra garbage as it does), this does seem worthy. |
