Are plastic bags and paper covers right for storing bread?
Bread needs to breathe for its crust to stay crisp, and in a plastic bag with no ventilation it will suffocate when you put it in the refrigerator. Plastic bags also accelerate spoilage by retaining moisture in. This also softens the crust which should ideally be crisp. A paper bag is better than plastic but in a paper bag kept on the counter, it is bound to dry out in a day or two.
