Hi.. I made this bread this morning.. It turned out really well.. I did it by hand.. (I don't have stand mixer) I didn't want to use hand mixer because I thought it will be to heavy.. Anyway.. I have a question.. How long would this bread be good for? on room temperature or in fridge? Thank you very much.. I enjoy very much your recipes.. and your expertise.
Novi, depends on the weather/climate. Hot/humid weather causes bread to mold eventually; could happens as quickly as 3 days at room temperature. On the other hand, if it's cool/dry, bread can stay mold-free at room temperature for a week or more. It'll last much longer in the fridge, but will also become stale/dry quickly. What I like to do is slice the loaf, and wrap 4-5 slices airtight in plastic, then put all the packages in a bag and freeze. I take out just how many slices I want, and leave the remainder frozen. Hope this helps – PJH
