I twist and tuck and keep it in a lower kitchen cabinet. Lasts so much longer than when I’d keep it in the counter. What is my alignment?
Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?

i have found that just tucking dries the bread just fast enough to not get mouldy, and dry bread can be just rehydrated by wetting it and putting it in an oven for a bit

Always eat the entire loaf in one sitting.

Guess I’m lawful neutral because I rarely lose the bag clip. I will use a clip when that happens.
frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 11 months ago
people own bread boxes?
civilconvo@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Breadbox should be chaotic side
hOrni@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes, my family uses it to store spatulas.
PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I got mine on the side of the road. Sanded it down and painted it up.
I love it. Bread goes in. Stays fresh.
MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
We got one like a year ago and I love it. Cheap plastic thing. It’s airtight. No more arguments about me not using that useless bread tie and the bread lasts longer.
brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I have one. We still use the plastic bags, but just needed a place to put it that wasn’t “out.”
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 11 months ago
At least three people on Earth own bread boxes. Elsewhere, I’m unsure.
Spezi@feddit.org 11 months ago
Since most of them are not airtight they suck like hell and they heat up in the summer to make a mold heaven. Some of them have gaps larger than a London subway station.

Lawful neutral until 2/3. After neutral evil.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 11 months ago
My neutral evil on a small partial loaf is basically rolling it until all the excess is tucked.
hark@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Reuse the bag clip if it exists, otherwise tie a knot.
YummyEntropy@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
No other neutral evil folks? Ah well, I haven’t eaten bread in ages anyhow.
Eheran@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It is the optimal way. Lowest effort, fastest, same result, no additional stuff needed.
JigglypuffSeenFromAbove@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I tie a knot AND twist and tuck. Where does that leave me?

Step 1: get some real bread
Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Step Sigma: Bake your own bread
It’s way easier than you think it is to make a basic loaf of yeast-based, white bread. I had the recipe memorized for a few months while I was first getting into it.
iiffy on amounts but it ain’t many ingredients Bread Flower 4 cups Yeast Honey (oh yeah, son) Salt One Egg
Level 2: Add more honey, slightly less yeast and toss brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in melted butter in it while rolling.
bonus round: add raisins
wieson@feddit.org 11 months ago
Hey, I really appreciate your comment and I hope you have all the fun in the world with the recipes that you like.
But I have to be honest, this is not the bread I’m talking about. I’m really sorry, I don’t want to be your opponent.
I have baked a few breads and sugar or honey is not needed to get the yeast going. That’s a misconception I’ve encountered before, talking to a US-American. What you described sounds lovely, but (for me) it goes into the direction of brioche, milk bread, Hefezopf (yeast braid) and other sweet breads bordering on cake.
Real bread is: flour, water, sourdough, industrial yeast (optional), salt, spices (optional// caraway, fennel, coriander).
The second trigger point: flour.
I’m again sorry to offload this unto you, but I have to speak my piece.
What is bread flour? The nomenclature is meaningless, but that’s the fault of the market. I need to know from a flour, which grain it comes from (wheat, rice, maize, spelt, rye, dinkel) and how much of the rind is still in it (how dark it is or how white). Protein content is a bonus.
Just as a positive send off: I love raisins and sweet breads with raisins (Hefezopf).
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For real. I recently discovered that the bakery at the chain supermarket across the street from me sells giant loaves of sourdough for about a dollar less than even the “budget” brands in the factory-made bread aisle. Not going back.
MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
It just gets stale so fast. We don’t eat that much bread.
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
They usually have a bread slicer too
phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Chaotic evil would be rearranging the slices so they don’t work for easy sandwiches.
GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Chaotic evil includes eating the heels of the bread first, because you don’t want that sweet extra protection layer from fungi.
cley_faye@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I simply do not allow an open bag of bread to be left unless all the bread have been eaten. Problem solved.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 months ago
True chaotic evil.
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I’m making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I’ve got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you’re toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you’re making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.
GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 11 months ago
This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn’t at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.
Bruncvik@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Freezer bags, 4 slices per bag, in a freezer. That way I can take out only as much bread as I can eat before it gets moldy.

Could you repeat in baguette, please?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 months ago
I save the little clip things from packaged buns because they are way better than the twisty ties that usually come on sliced bread.
M137@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I twist, fold then put a clip on it. This also works well with the two common kinds of clips you get with the bag (plastic squareish thing with a hole like in the image and plastic thing with metal wire in it) and other clips you have yourself as the fold makes it so the bag doesn’t untwist as much.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You should try a vacuum sealer.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I keep my bread in the fridge, and then it doesn’t matter.
I guess it means I’m in Pathfinder universe or somethingvodka@lemm.ee 11 months ago
This, keep it in fridge and only tuck.
Quick round in the toaster if needed for the cold bread, or not if it is used to make lunch to bring to work or something.
toadjones79@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I tuck. I have found that it is the most reliable for keeping it from drying. Mostly j noticed this with bags of chips. Then I adapted that to bread.
Overspark@feddit.nl 11 months ago
Twist and tuck inside the breadbox obviously.

I do both lawful neutral and chaotic neutral at once. Am I paranoid?
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you look at it, it’s lawful good.
But at its core, it’s chaotic neutral.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 11 months ago
True neutral?
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, I’m twist’n’tucking in the bread box.

can@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s legally cake?
luckystarr@feddit.org 11 months ago
As long as it’s airtight and not stored for weeks it’s ok. Use good bread though, not this bad imitation.
miraclerandy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I am lawful neutral (use clip it came with) until about halfway through the loaf, then I become chaotic neutral (twist and tuck) at the back half.
There isn’t enough bag to properly twist and tuck until that point anyway.
spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
I’m lawful neutral until I lose the bread clip and go chaotic neutral. Sometimes I’m lawful good the whole time, but I’ve been chaotic at the start and that’s fun!
Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Twist and tuck all day erre’day
MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
All day until I started steady living with a woman. The twist tie or whatever must be attached at all times.
Many years later we got a cheap plastic bread box and I gotta say it’s awesome. You can twist and tuck and the bread stays good even longer.
