Storing fresh bread

[Equus5O]

How do you keep your freshly made bread? I know I can freeze it. But, how do you keep the bread on the counter, or the fridge, for daily use?

Do you entwine it in plastic, stuff it into a ziplock, wrap it in foil, or tuck it into a towel?

I've been making the Gump bread into sandwich rolls. I put them in a ziplock gallon bag and leave them on the counter. They're gone within 4-5 days and they've kept really well. When I do make a larger loaf I've been keeping them on the counter in foil so I can warm them in the oven.

I do the same as kbarrett except I keep it in my pantry which is about 16 degrees cooler than the rest on my house.

In the cold weather months, I can leave my homemade bread on the counter, but in the summer it can mold faster than I can eat it. I also keep bread in the refrigerator at times. My bread is usually put in plastic/zip bags. Unfortunately, I eat it faster than it can dry out. That's the thing with homemade bread.....it's good enough to eat.

Keep mine on the counter but in one of those "bread saver" bags.

Zip lock bags on the counter.

That's what I'm doing. I didn't know if there was another way to keep it fresher. I just wish we would eat it up faster. If we only eat half a loaf, and the chickens eat the other half, is that really cost effective?
