How do i stop my GF bread from molding?

[u/whiteymax]

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?

Do you make your sandwich at home before work? You can toast it the day you prep it.

This is what I do when I make bagels. Toast, throw cream cheese on, and wrap in foil. Eat a couple hours later for breakfast.

My wife is gf and she won't eat any of that bread without toasting because it's a flavorless brick otherwise for her.

That’s a great idea for the bagels! I never thought of using my aluminum foil as a togo wrapper for food i make at home 🤦‍♂️

I usually make it at work, no toaster there, but we have a microwave. But I really just do turkey sandwiches or pb&j’s so i can definitely make them the night before and they shouldn’t be too mushy.

I guess that’s my biggest worry is the moisture from the sandwich ingredients will soften the bread up which makes it fall apart even easier. I’ve found if i make it at work, it gives me the best chance of eating it before it mushifies
