It does however cause it to go stale much faster. Better idea is to keep it in the freezer and take out a little bread as needed, then thawing out more as you eat.
When I still lived with my parents, they kept bread in a room temperature and we quite often had to toss away moldy ones. When I moved on my own I started keeping it in the fridge and I don’t think I’ve had mold once. I toast it virtually every time anyway so doesn’t really matter. Also it’s dark rye bread which probably keeps differently than one made from while flour
Okay but who puts bread in their fridge, what, do you live in a Soulsborne poison swamp level? It’s bread.
Edit: The question was rhetorical, guys. 😅
It lasts a few days longer because I can’t finish 18 slices of bread in 4 days.
Coward
I do sometimes actually. I live alone and don’t use a ton of bread, so keeping it in the fridge keeps it from molding quickly.

Previously frozen bread is awful though.
Eh, if you freeze it carefully it’s fine, I cut and freeze the stuff I bake most of the time
That’s fair - I bake, but my family eats it almost faster than I can make it. Skews my perception of bread.
I see half loaves on the shelf sometimes these days, might be an idea

You only mean fridge right, not freezer?
Well yeah, you can freeze it no problem. Someone made that point, I’m not arguing
South Louisiana. I put my bread in freezer during the summer or it will be moldy in two days.
Our cat likes to eat bread and will tear the bag open to get at it. Had to keep it in the fridge.
Also our kitchen had no cupboards with doors. Have since remedied that and now can keep bread in the cupboard.
yeah i dunno, it’s always in the freezer for me
