Tips | Jul 02, 2021
As we all know, bread is one of the most important food in our everyday life. People usually buy various bread from stores. Nowadays, more and more people start to bake at home, especially since COVID-19 broke out.
1. Why we need to keep our bread fresh?
Delicious bread with great crust and interior moist is crisp outside and soft inside. When we buy or bake bread, we usually don't buy or bake just one loaf. We usually buy or even bake more for storage. Therefore, how to keep bread's crispness and moistness matters a lot.
Bread will go stale easily if it's not well preserved. The bread starch will transpose to a crystalline form because of the water contained inside bread. The process of retrogradation is called staling. And this process will accelerate at cooler temperatures, like in refrigerators. In a word, bread at room temperature will keep fresh for longer than at cooler temperatures.
2. How to keep our bread fresh under room temperature?
Since bread could stay fresh for longer under room temperature, how to keep our bread? Should we put them in plastic bags or just put them on plates in the open air?
If you don't know how to store your bread and keep them fresh longer, bread boxes will help you solve this problem.
A bread box, or bread bin, is a container for storing your bread or other baked goods in order to keep them fresh for longer under room temperatures. Bread boxes facilitate to create controlled environment. The moisture from the bread itself will raise the humidity in the bread container, and the bread will go stale easily and quickly if the bread storage container is completely air-tight. Your bread will become soggy and chewy.
However, our ERGODESIGN bamboo bread box is designed with back air vents for air circulation, which will regulate the humidity inside the bread storage box. That's how the bread could stay fresh for days at room temperatures.

Some people might prefer to using paper bags for bread storage. Unfortunately, it does not work at all. The humidity from the bread will wet the paper bags, which will speed up the staling process.

Mice and other pests wont' get into the bread holder. Furthermore, it's more eco-friendly by using bamboo bread bins than using paper bags.
