And answering the question in a video On his TikTok page, Paul finally put the finishing touches on it.

“A big question I get asked a lot is, ‘Where do you store your bread?’” he began.

“If you put your bread in the refrigerator, it will go stale three times faster because you are removing all the moisture from the bread.”

When asked where Paul himself keeps his bread, he said, “Well, honestly, I just put it in a brown bag and leave it aside!”

“Did you know this about storing bread in the fridge?” Paul captioned the video.

However, many people in the comments were not convinced by Paul’s suggestion.

“I say you are wrong,” one person wrote.

“I keep them in a sealed bag in the fridge. They keep much better inside than outside.”

“No, I don’t think so,” added another.

“I left bread in the fridge a week past its expiration date and it was still fine.”

“It seems to get moldy quickly if I leave it outside,” wrote a third.

“I disagree! We keep our bread in the fridge, it lasts much longer,” said someone else.

“I’d rather have it musty than moldy,” argued another.

“I keep it in the fridge, it stays fresh longer,” said someone else.

While others presented their own solutions for storing their bread.

“The best is a beeswax cloth,” someone wrote.

“I use it for my sourdough and it lasts much longer!”

“I have a lunch box from the 60s,” added another.

“Freezer,” said someone else.

“Always make sure you have a variety of bread in the freezer.”

“Microwave it and it will stay fresh for a long time,” another noted.

“I keep mine in a cupboard, it can’t stay on the counter!” said someone else.
