Hot-processed bread (that is, the meat in the bread is shaped with dough and baked in the oven), even if it is refrigerated in the refrigerator, the shelf life will not exceed one day (starch aging), and the taste is greatly sacrificed, so it can be stored at room temperature.
Cold-processed bread (that is, the meat in the bread is cooled from the oven and put in, such as sandwich bread and some salad bread) must be refrigerated in the refrigerator to have a shelf life of 1 day, and the shelf life at room temperature should not exceed 4 hours. If you don't eat this bread right away, you'd better refrigerate it.
2. The shelf life of ordinary sweet bread and toast (excluding stuffing) (such as milk toast, pineapple sweet bread and fancy milk bread) is 2-3 days.
Sweet bread has a long shelf life. During the shelf life, it is basically guaranteed that the taste of bread will not change greatly, that is, the bread will still be very soft (provided that your bread is really ready)
3. Shelf life of stuffed bread and stuffed toast (such as bean paste roll bread and ham and cheese toast): 2-3 days or 1 day.
Although there are fillings, you must look at them separately. Storage-resistant soft-stuffed bread (such as bean paste stuffing, coconut stuffing and lotus paste stuffing) can be stored for 2-3 days. Bread with meat stuffing (such as chicken stuffing) can only be stored for 1 day.
Four. Shelf life of Danish bread (such as croissants and Danish grape rolls): 3-5 days.
Danish bread has a long shelf life. However, please note that the shelf life of Danish bread with meat stuffing (such as tuna Danish bread) is only 1 day.
Five, hard shell bread (such as baguette) shelf life: 8 hours.
The most attractive thing about hard-shell bread is its hard shell. However, after baking, the moisture inside the bread will continue to penetrate to the outside, which will eventually lead to the softening of the shell. Hard-shell bread will be as hard to swallow as leather if it lasts for more than 8 hours. Even if it is baked again, it is difficult to restore the taste of just baked.
6. The shelf life of shellfish is 5-6 days.
The bagel is simple to make, unique in taste and long in shelf life. It should be noted that the concentration of syrup used to cook shellfish must be enough, otherwise the shelf life will be shortened.
Six, heavy oil bread (such as raisin almond bread) shelf life: 1 week to half a month.
Heavy oil bread has high oil content, high sugar content and long shelf life. But be careful not to reduce oil and sugar at will when making, otherwise the shelf life will not be so long except for affecting the taste.
How to prolong the shelf life of bread-frozen preservation method
Although low temperature will accelerate the aging of starch, when the temperature drops below 0 degrees, the aging effect of starch will be greatly slowed down.
Therefore, the shelf life of bread can be prolonged by putting it in a fresh-keeping bag and quickly freezing it in the freezer to-18 degrees Celsius. When you want to eat it, take it out, spray some water on the surface of the bread, bake it again and thaw it (oven temperature 100- 120 degrees, the time varies according to the size of the bread), or thaw it in the microwave oven and bake it in the oven a little, and you can eat it.
Bread can be preserved by freezing for about 2 weeks. However, it must be noted that only bread without stuffing is suitable for frozen preservation, such as toast, croissant, hard shell bread and so on.
Several questions and answers about bread; A
Q: Why does my sweet bread harden in less than a day even at room temperature? Isn't the shelf life 2-3 days?
Answer: Bread must be made correctly. Making high-quality bread is a prerequisite for long-term preservation. The dough should be fully kneaded, the moisture content of bread should not be too low, and the fermentation and baking should be correct, so as to make bread whose taste will not change much within 2-3 days.
Q: Why do some supermarkets buy toast and sweet bread with a shelf life of 5-7 days?
A: Generally, commercially available bread contains preservatives (such as calcium propionate), which can prevent bread from mildewing, and bread improvers, which can improve bread texture and delay bread aging. Therefore, the shelf life of bread can be extended by 3-4 days. Homemade handmade bread does not contain such additives, and the shelf life will naturally be greatly shortened.
Q: Why is my bread sticky after two days?
A: Internal stickiness is also a feature of bread deterioration. In order to reduce this possibility, bread must be thoroughly baked. Especially for baking bread, the temperature in the center of the bread often reaches 80 degrees in the last few minutes of baking. If the baking time is not enough, the inside is not cooked and easy to rot.
