Does the bread have to be wrapped? Wondering if it's good for homemade, unwrapped bread.

Its not airtight. I have put scones inside wrapped in a towel they will dry out but slower than on the counter

Yes, Bread needs to be wrapped. Please read my review and save your $$ for a better product !!!

It is not an airtight enclosure, so maybe at least placing fresh homemade bread in a paper bag would be best.

If you mean like sandwich bread that you purchase at a grocery store then the answer is "no". If you mean like a traditional homemade loaf of bread I think you could answer your question "yes".

I have only put wrapped bread inside. I doubt that it would be much different than leaving unwrapped bread out in the open.

I can't really say. Bread does not last long around our house; usually a loaf is gone in 3 days or less . It is not sealed. Air will get in behind the swiveling roll top.

This is PERFECT for homemade bread. I have a bread machine and as soon as the bread is cool enough I stick it in there. It is perfect because, as homemade bread is trickier to slice (no preservatives, hello!), the guide is great to make perfect slicers every time. Hope this helps!

I agree wholeheartedly with GardenGal's comment. Immediately after the bread is done and taken out, use a pastry brush to brush the top with oil. It will lock in the moisture and keep the crust moist. Do not use a lot of oil because it can become soggy. Sunflower or olive oil is good. Marie

I had never done so-I would think that it would work fine though. I make recipes that are not in the book that comes with the bread maker and they come out beautifully.

Yes, freezing is probably the best way to maintain their products. They come double bagged too. Occasionally I've had problems separating slices of the frozen multigrain bread but none with the sourdough or white bread. All are great toasted!

Look guys this is pretty simple stuff! The typical bread box idea is to get the loaves off the countertop and hide the bread in a container that looks like the rest of your kitchen. Some are better than others. If you want store bread in a bread box well, you`re not going to find an air tight one because that`s not what they`re made for. Depending on the bread it doesn't need to be air tight. Otherwise, what do you do if you don`t have one? That's right, you just keep the wrapper tightly closed until you need bread!!

Yes. It's even better to keep it in the freezer and thaw the slices you need at the time. It's the best gluten free bread I've found.

It is not airtight. The lid has several small holes in back for ventilation. Our bread does stay fresh at least twice as long though!

The manual is totally inconsistent on this. At another point it says: "Do not toast breads thicker than 1 inch in the toasting slots. For extra thick bread slices, warm using the warming rack." So which is it, can you warm with the warming rack or not??

I've made it a week ahead and wrapped it tight with plastic wrap and it was fine and went on the cake beautifully.I love working with it and the great cakes I've done for family and friends.hope this helps.

Yes, the wrapping doesn't really effect it, I knew it would happen when I got them so I melted the wrapping, it's just nylon cord so singing it together will make sure it holds, just be careful because you can burn it off if you heat it for to long

I keep it in the plastic bag. I have a few different breads in there at any time. I do not know if it affects how long it stays fresh.

I have used mine for a year--exclusively for baking bread. I put flour in the pan--no oil--shake it around. Then I put the dough in the pan, let it rise, and bake. It comes out easily. I have washed by hand or in the dishwasher and no residue.
