It depends on the correct storage

Buns in coated paper bags
You should never store bread and bread together, as bread is moister than bread rolls. If both are together, the buns are quickly mushy. It is best to pack bread rolls in coated paper bags. This keeps the moisture inside and the bun crispy. Unpacked bread can be kept in specially made containers made of stoneware, stainless steel, wood or ceramic, sliced ​​loaves best with the cutting edge down. And packed bread is best kept in its original packaging.

Do not throw away mature bread prematurely
Bread and rolls are best stored at room temperature. "Bread should never be put in the fridge, except on very hot summer days," said Harald Seitz, nutritionist at the aid infodienst. "This is where bread ages very quickly and tastes accordingly." Older bread should not be hastily discarded just like other foods. As long as bread is not moldy, it can be dried well and then used in the kitchen - for example for breadcrumbs or croutons. "If you like it sweet, you can conjure up poor knights or a bread casserole from the supposed disposable bread," says the nutritionist. (Ad)
