Bread should be stored properly to prevent it from drying out or becoming moldy. Store commercially baked bread at room temperature in its original packaging or a breadbox. For longer storage, bread can be frozen for up to 2-3 months; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil to prevent freezer burn. Homemade bread is best stored similarly to commercially baked bread or frozen using the same method. Avoid refrigerating bread, as this can make it stale faster.
