To keep your favourite loaf fresh throughout the week, we have some simple storage DOs and DON'Ts, courtesy of our friends at @LFHWUK.

DO: store in a cool, dark and dry place, like a bread bin or cupboard, or in original packaging.

DON'T: store in the fridge – it will make it go stale quicker!

DO: FREEZE your bread!

DON'T: use if mould is present! Most packaged bread can be eaten two days to up to a week after the best before date.

DO: clean your bread bin or cupboard regularly to get rid of mould spores.
