mouldy. has anyone got any ideas as i put it in the panty in an airtight container and went mouldy after a few days. thanks for your advise.

You don't. It doesn't keep as long as shop bread. lack of additives is why.
make a smaller loaf more often or freeze half.

What lythande said. I keep enough for fresh bread day one and toast day two, and the rest is frozen as soon as it's completely cold.

Panty? You went mouldy? Are you sure about this?

Wish my home made bread lasted longer than a day.

But seriously, OP. was the bread 100% cooled down before you sealed it in a container? If not it would sweat.

made some today, have never had it go mouldy. We only use it for toast, and it is gone in 2-3 dys.
I have no idea why. but Nana always put her loaf wrapped in a teatowel in the pantry. that's all I do.
Added chopped red onion, 1 tsp curry, handful grated cheese and some lemon pepper. mmmmm. so tasty.

I read somewhere that adding oil or melted butter to the mix helped it stay a bit fresher, but bread freezes well anyway.

I make bread in breadmaker,(rapid bake) have done for over 20 years, it does not get any mould under 6 days old, I make part wholemeal loaf, sometimes add mixed grain.

Forgot to add I keep loaf in sealed lightweight freezer bag, once it is cold,
If I have not eaten it iall in 6-7 days I process remainder into crumbs & put in freezer.
Have only had Panasonic Breadmakers
