Secret discovered for keeping it fresh, without losing texture and keeping it crispy on the outside
A favorite and essential part of everyone’s breakfast, bread has become a staple and a must-have on the table of every Brazilian household.
However, buying the classic bread roll means knowing that the next day you’re going to experience a very common problem: it becomes hard and difficult to eat.
So anyone who always buys bread for their home knows that this is a very common problem and one that generates persistent doubts about the best way to store the food.
Not in the fridge, not in the bag: the place bread should be so it doesn’t harden
It’s neither in the fridge nor in the traditional bag. Experts on the subject say that the simplest and most natural way to preserve bread is to store it in a clean cloth.
Research has shown that the fridge, another option that many people choose to store food in, is not the right place for it either.
This is because even though it is a cold environment, the refrigerator can accelerate the loss of moisture in the food and this will end up causing it to harden.
A clean cloth is recommended because it allows the bread to breathe, preventing moisture from accumulating, as well as maintaining the crunchiness of the crust.
Bread should always be kept in a dry, airy place away from direct light to preserve its texture. By keeping it in these conditions, it stays fresh without becoming rubbery and without losing its crunchy texture on the outside.
Another even more efficient alternative for those who don’t eat their bread early in the morning is to freeze it. This keeps the bread moist inside and prevents it from hardening. To defrost it, simply put it in the oven or air fryer.
