    You’re going to be opening that package often over a short period. I don’t think it’s useful to tie it down too tightly, and i especially don’t think it’s useful to introduce accessories (clip, bottle hack), you’ll have to deal with them every single time you open the bag.

    It’s also just a fucking bread bag, you don’t need to secure it so firmly.

    Twist and tuck or just tucking, maybe tying a knot if it’s going to get jostled a bit (going camping)

    The box being “good” is wild. That is where bread goes stale unseen and uneaten. Its gotta be near the top of pointless kitchen things that only people with more money then sense have.

      A bread box can be good for packing bread or sandwiches that you want to protect from being squished, like when camping for example.

        That is not a bread box, more of a travel bread case. I use one for eggs and bread stuff when camping as well. But this… thing is a counter bound thing that is heavy and artsy.

    You want to know what bothers me with this chart? What has always bothered me, is it does not mention the twist-tie that comes with the bread when purchased.

    Where is it? Where.

    P.s. if you say it’s the clip, that is clearly a chip bag clip, meant for chip bags. That clip does not come with the bread bag.

    P.s.s. Make the FUCKING TWIST-TIE that comes with the bread true natural. Any deviation from it becomes a different part of the chart. Fuck off rubber band method. Replace the bottle cap method. (Who uses the bottle cap + ring method anyway? That should be in the ‘psychopath waisting energy and justifying it with internet logic’ level of evil category.)

      At least where I’m from (Canada), bread comes with a clip holding the bag shut, not a twist tie. “Re-using the clip” means the clip the came with the bag. You can see that it’s a different shape in the picture. This would be the equivalent of re-using the twist tie, if that’s how the bread is packaged where you live.

    • All day until I started steady living with a woman. The twist tie or whatever must be attached at all times.

      Many years later we got a cheap plastic bread box and I gotta say it’s awesome. You can twist and tuck and the bread stays good even longer.

    Well for me it’s the twist-tie until I get down to the last few slices then I just spin the bag and fold it back over itself.

    Why the twist-tie wasn’t listed is beyond me since I’ve never seen a store that didn’t have them as the majority of closure mechanisms.

    Also, bottle hack? I honestly have no idea what that’s about.

    i have found that just tucking dries the bread just fast enough to not get mouldy, and dry bread can be just rehydrated by wetting it and putting it in an oven for a bit

      Step Sigma: Bake your own bread

      It’s way easier than you think it is to make a basic loaf of yeast-based, white bread. I had the recipe memorized for a few months while I was first getting into it.

      iiffy on amounts but it ain’t many ingredients

      Bread Flower

      Yeast

      Honey (because sugar is boring)

      Salt

      One Egg

      Level 2: Add more honey, slightly less yeast and toss brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in melted butter in it while rolling.

      bonus round: add raisins

        Hey, I really appreciate your comment and I hope you have all the fun in the world with the recipes that you like.

        But I have to be honest, this is not the bread I’m talking about. I’m really sorry, I don’t want to be your opponent.

        I have baked a few breads and sugar or honey is not needed to get the yeast going. That’s a misconception I’ve encountered before, talking to a US-American. What you described sounds lovely, but (for me) it goes into the direction of brioche, milk bread, Hefezopf (yeast braid) and other sweet breads bordering on cake.

        Real bread is: flour, water, sourdough, industrial yeast (optional), salt, spices (optional// caraway, fennel, coriander).


        The second trigger point: flour.

        I’m again sorry to offload this unto you, but I have to speak my piece.

        What is bread flour? The nomenclature is meaningless, but that’s the fault of the market. I need to know from a flour, which grain it comes from (wheat, rice, maize, spelt, rye, dinkel) and how much of the rind is still in it (how dark it is or how white). Protein content is a bonus.

        Just as a positive send off: I love raisins and sweet breads with raisins (Hefezopf).

      For real. I recently discovered that the bakery at the chain supermarket across the street from me sells giant loaves of sourdough for about a dollar less than even the “budget” brands in the factory-made bread aisle. Not going back.
