How should you store fresh bread at home?

Bread is best stored in its own packaging at room temperature. Bread should not be stored in the refrigerator, as the temperature in the refrigerator is the worst possible for the preservation of bread. In the refrigerator, the bread crumbles and hardens. The second best option is to freeze the bread and defrost it as needed. Bread should be frozen as soon as it is fresh, and the recommended maximum period of freezer storage is two to three months.
