Store white bread at room temperature in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a bread box. This helps to prevent it from drying out or becoming stale. Avoid storing bread in the refrigerator, as this can accelerate staling. For longer storage, you can freeze white bread. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. Frozen bread can last for several months and should be thawed at room temperature before using.
