Sandwiches, toast, anything a child has to hold.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Whole grain.<\/strong> Heavier and slower to eat, with enough fibre that a single slice actually keeps you going. Goes stale faster because there is less fat in it.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Sourdough.<\/strong> Long fermentation, open crumb, chewy crust. Best on day one, better toasted on day three, and it will not go mouldy as quickly as a supermarket white.<\/li>\n\t<li><strong>Baguette.<\/strong> Almost all crust. Buy it on the day, eat it on the day, and accept that this is the deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h4 style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storing It<\/h4>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"\">Never in the fridge. Bread goes stale roughly six times faster at fridge temperature than on the counter, which is the one piece of kitchen advice that sounds wrong and is not. A paper bag for a crusty loaf, a sealed bag for a soft one, and the freezer for anything you will not finish in two days \u2014 sliced first, so you can take out what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote style=\"\" class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\t<p>A loaf that has gone hard is not a loaf that has gone off.
