Preserving Home-Made Bread
28 Answers
This request will come as sacrilege to many. The mildest will just go into a dark room with an ice-pack on their heads; others might start thinking of lynch mobs.
But I'm a brave man so here goes:
My bread machine makes superb bread with a lovely crust and soft interior, the sort of thing no supermarket bread comes near. But it does not stay fresh as long as inferior shop bread.
Does anyone know what preservative goes into shop bread and whether you can buy it?

Many of the preservatives are used to add sourness to the dough to retard aging and any mould development.
We do the same in all of our homemade bread stuffs, but we simply use a sourdough starter as the yeast. Sourdough is well known to "live" longer than other breads...
Seeing as it's Saturday I can't find my pitchfork to organize the lynch mob… but I'll keep trying!
