Bread in fridge

[PowderKeg]

Does bread stored in the fridge get stale faster than bread kept out?

i always keep my bread in the fridge it gets yucky if left in a hot kitchen

I detest bread that has been kept in the fridge. It seems to go claggy.

I enjoy a lot of toast, so as soon as I buy a loaf, I freeze one third. This makes ideal toast, straight from the freezer.

The rest is eaten in good time before it starts to go stale. I keep it in a bread bin.

Depends what bread you buy. I prefer to keep my bread in a bread bin and always buy fresh from a baker and slice it myself and freeze some.
Even Warburtons the makers of sliced pap do not recommend keeping bread in a fridge.

i dont personally eat much bread, theres only two of us in my house so we dont get through a great deal,

if we want bread we buy it but it usually goes off faster than we eat it, which doesnt matter as we probably only but a couple of loaves a month


BUT

my parents when i was living at home had a "bread bag" it was a cloth bag with a consealed plastic layer, you put the bread in this and it seemed to last ages??

i dont know where to get them from though, i assume it came from somewhere like a door to door delivered catalogue, the ones that sell this kind of thing? "betterware" is one we get delivered, but may just be a local thing???
