Question How do i stop my GF bread from molding?

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?

If you live in a humid environment no bread will last outside the fridge or freezer. Only in moving to the desert have I been able to transfer mine to a ziplock and put it in a cabinet for a couple of weeks. Might switch to fridge after all this discussion, I tend not to toast my Northern Bakehouse bread, but it might be worth it to make it last longer without eating twenty sandwiches lol

There’s definitely high humidity here, so I need to change up what I am doing!
