The 'life-changing' hack for keeping loaf of bread fresh - it's easier than you think

Keeping your bread fresh once you've opened the packet can be hard. You might have tried twisting the bag in an attempt to seal it back up or loosely putting the sticker back around it but it's not the most effective method.

By the time you next get your bread out, it's untwisted again or the sticker has come off leaving your bread dry and no longer fresh. One person on TikTok who goes by the username of @vickygilchrist_ has shared an innovative technique that's effective and simple. The creator says the hack "changed her life" and encourages her audience to give it a go. Commenters were also impressed with the newfound hack.

One wrote: "OK the bread one is so obvious but why have I never thought of that?" Another person said the hack was "so smart".

In the video, the woman twists the end of the bread bag and then folds the end of the bag back over the bread.

With this method, it won't come undone and will stay fresh until the next time you open it.

This hack can not only help to keep your bread fresh but it will keep any insects away from it too.

Keeping your bread well sealed in the cupboard is important for maintaining its freshness, texture, and safety.

When bread is left exposed to air, it quickly loses moisture, causing it to dry out and become stale.

Properly sealing it can help preserve its softness and flavour for longer.

You may use a bread bin at home which can help with keeping your bread fresh, but using this method will provide a stronger airtight space for your loaf which will prevent it from becoming mouldy.

Storing it in a cool, dry cupboard, away from direct sunlight or heat sources will further extend its shelf life.

By using this simple method, you can reduce food waste, save money, and guarantee that your bread will stay as fresh as possible.
