Question How do i stop my GF bread from molding?

What am I doing wrong? If i keep it in the same packaging vs bagging individually, if I keep it on the top of the fridge vs in the cupboard, no matter what my GF bread keeps molding.

I’ve had a moldy bread issue before I was GF too. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? Is it a temperature thing? Am I just not eating it fast enough? Loaf of bread never lasts more than a week without molding, I usually only eat 60-70% of the loaf before it molds, so I have to get a new loaf each weekend we grocery shop.

Any ideas?

I almost exclusively keep my bread products in the freezer, unless I’m going thru like a sandwich binge where I’m eating a loaf in less than 2/3 days.

If I know I’m gonna use some bread and wanted to defrost it, I may move a few individual slices or buns etc to the fridge but I’m consuming them within 24hrs.

But essentially it’s just freezer only

What sandwiches do you select from during your sandwich binge streaks? I need more ideas!

Lots of melts with turkey, grilled onions sometimes cheese maybe some avocado.

I make like avocado, pickled onions, hot sauce, pepper with some greens (avocado toast but as a sandwich).

I’ll do mozzarella balsamic tomato’s pesto as a sauce

Peanut butter and honey is always a simple go too some times throw some hot sauce into it to make my own hot honey.

I mean honestly basically all meals from salads to noodles dishes without the noodles go between the two slices and it just makes the meal easier to eat on the go or for lunch at work.

The bread is just there to hold everything else together. Plus the amount of sauces and hot sauces and different mayos are definitely always in the 20-30s so I can make the same core sandwich but with different sauces to make it very different
