Who doesn’t love a fresh loaf of bread? I certainly do.
The only problem I have with bread is storing it so I don’t
end up having a stale piece of toast for breakfast the next day.
I usually freeze about half the loaf once I come home from
the market but, lets be honest, frozen bread just is not the same.
I knew there had to be a way out there to preserve bread
without throwing it in the freezer.
That is how my quest for the best storage method for bread
came about. Paper and plastic bags never seem to do the job
and leave me with hard bread only suitable for croutons. The
answer, strangely enough, is linen.
Linen bags are the perfect way to store bread because they are
breathable, yet tightly closed. It seems a bit unlikely, I
know, but it really does work. I am actually quite pleased
the answer to a fresher loaf of bread is linen because they look a
lot nicer than a crumpled bag. Not only do linen bags look
lovely on your kitchen counter, they also save you (and the
environment) a lot of paper and plastic. This embellished linen
bag will store your bread safely. Decorated with [an
embroidered design], it measures a generous *8 x *2 and is
roomy enough to store a big, bloomer-style loaf, or a dozen bread
rolls or bagels. It closes with a ribbon drawstring.
If you don't like to store your bread in a plastic bag, this
is the perfect alternative. Or put your plastic bag of bread inside
this one to add some fabric charm and colour to your kitchen.
