It's weird, in my experience, bread almost never goes stale. It goes bad by going moldy. I wonder if the bread I eat (usually the industrially produced wheat bread) has higher moisture content than breads of yore.
- bryanlarsen 7y agoAre you keeping it in a plastic bag? That traps the moisture that lets it mold. A proper bread box is designed to let bread dry out slowly so it doesn't mold.
- phonypc 7y agoA lot of what's added to industrial bread is indeed to avoid staling. Doesn't have much to do with moisture.

Is it the vinegar?
- phonypc 7y agoThe extra gluten and the relatively large amount of sugar. That bread is also unusual for not including various enzymes and glycerides.
