Keep Bread Fresh Naturally
Keep Bread Fresh NaturallyAuthor: Mark GoldFresh bread, unless it’s loaded with preservatives, does not maintain it’s freshness for long. There are many ways people utilize to keep bread fresh but most of these will only give an extra day or two, if that. There is one proven way to extend the shelf life of bread, but first let’s look at the alternatives: The classic way is to use a bread box or bread bin. The old fashioned wooden ones tend to work better than plastic or metal ones, but they trap moisture in the air and cause it to condense in the box, actually hastening mold, and particularly plastic ones. Other popular methods are refrigeration or freezing.
Whilst refrigeration can delay molding it will accelerate the process if moisture gets trapped inside the plastic bag. Staleness (where the bread gets harder), happens wherever you keep it. Bread goes stale due to the gluten proteins knitting back together after cooking, making the bread tougher. Bread is only soft where gluten is present; when it is fresh the gluten protein strands are long and stretched. Believe it or not, bread stales much faster at lower temperatures, this results from a change in the starch fraction of wheat flour involving crystallization, or retro gradation.
If bread is stored at higher temperatures it becomes moldy much faster.

Quilting: Using TemplatesQuilting: Using TemplatesAuthor: Robin HuberTemplates are patterns so to speak, only with templates you cut the materials you need from strong fabrics.

The surface patterns will flow consistently as well. You can use your created templates and trace along your patterns, instead of pinning graphing paper to your quilt material. |
