To help bread stay fresh longer, keep it in a cool, dry place. Store sliced bread in a sealed bag or bread box to prevent it from drying out. If you won't use it within a few days, freezing bread can help preserve its texture and flavor. Just slice before freezing and use airtight packaging. Avoid storing bread in the fridge, as it can make it stale faster. Always check packaging instructions for specific storage tips.
