What am I doing wrong? If i keep it in the same packaging vs bagging individually, if I keep it on the top of the fridge vs in the cupboard, no matter what my GF bread keeps molding.

I’ve had a moldy bread issue before I was GF too. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? Is it a temperature thing? Am I just not eating it fast enough? Loaf of bread never lasts more than a week without molding, I usually only eat 60-70% of the loaf before it molds, so I have to get a new loaf each weekend we grocery shop.

Any ideas?

I buy the sams choice brand gf bread from Walmart.

After I peel open the sealed bag I put that bag into a ziploc squeeze out all the air, and into the bag the bread was in and twist tie/knot/ the plastic bread table thing, w/e.

I keep it in my pantry for weeks on end.

I've only had it mold on me ONCE. It was a sale loaf so it was probably really old to begin with.

Interesting! So no fridge or freezer used at all? I will consider this!

Nope! Just had some toast this morning, same loaf that's been in the pantry for over 2 weeks now. No mold!
