Bread in a Bread Bag


I recently started making this bread for sandwiches. I have a hard time eating 100% whole wheat bread, which is often so dense, but since this is half whole wheat, I feel that is a good compromise. And it is delicious! I recently made this bread bag, as well. I have been trying to stay away from plastic in my kitchen, so making one of these has been on my to-do list for a while. I am pleased with how well it has been working. Mostly I've used it with this bread, which stays soft and fresh for about 2 days in there. By the third day (which is usually when we finish it), it has started getting slightly hard, but it still works great for toast or eggs-in-a-frame. I made a simple two-layer drawstring bag, with both layers being a tightly woven cotton.

Hi AnnaLeah, I am a friend of your mama's, and I so enjoy your sharing too. How very talented and thrifty you are. I get encouragement from your sharings. Maybe you could give a bit more of detailed how to on the bread bag. I like that idea. The quilt is wonderful.

In Joy,

When the bread starts getting older, you can also make croutons from it.

Hi AnnaLeah,
The bread bag is a great idea! Practical and pretty. Our bread just gets stored on the counter top (wrapped, of course)- not very tidy or attractive... I don't have a bread bin, as I find these tend to make the bread go mouldy more quickly. Maybe we just have a mouldy climate here!!
Anyway, will definitely be borrowing the idea! Thankyou.
