Intro: Bread going mouldy quickly is a common problem, especially in warm kitchens. Luckily, the fix is simple.
1. Check where you store it
Warm, humid places speed up mould.
2. Avoid keeping bread in plastic
Plastic traps moisture — use a bread bin instead.
3. Don’t store bread near the oven
Heat encourages mould growth.
4. Freeze what you won’t use
Bread freezes perfectly and lasts weeks.
5. When to worry
If mould appears within 24 hours, check for damp in the kitchen.
Summary: Most mouldy bread is caused by heat, humidity, or airtight storage.
