How long does the home baked regular(plain white/whole meal) bread stay fresh?

ksi, i planned to bake cheese bread, can you tell me what cheese brand you buy for your cheese bread? is it necessary to increase the yeast and decreas water/milk?

haha twinkle...I realised I made a mistake on the cheese name, it was parmesan that I used cos I have many types of cheese in my fridge and I got mixed up. However, it is finely grated. Brand is Perfect Italiano.

The same brand also have the shredded Mozzarella

I used the mozarella in the same brand for my failed loaf. You'll see that the mozarella is a lot thicker in shreds than parmesan. Parmesan is also a harder cheese compared to mozarella. I suspect that's why my loaf failed. Too big and the cheese too soft.

wow! so many cheese in your fridge..how did you store them that time when your fridge kaput?

no worry... how about the water and yeast? do I have to decrease and increase them? can I dump in slightly more cheese then it stated in the recipe? I love cheese :love: :love: :love:

Oh when my fridge kaput....it was not all compartments affected at the same time, it was like cancer...spread then die. So the cheese was kept in the unaffected area first. My fridge was sweating and throwing out water that looked like bleeding....so scary like haemorrhage..no one knew what it was even though it was tightly closed. My kitchen is also cool cos no direct sun, so it was managable.

I did not increase water nor yeast but I would now keep my cheese to 1/4 cup.

Your description of your fridge is scary.

I will try baking it with this kind of cheese.
Thanks for the advises! :thankyou:

Sorry in my household there is no chance to get stale...so I don't know the answer but I guess is no more than 2 days, otherwise keep in the fridge and then make french toast with it.

Alamak jtoh...so my mistaken \"cheesename\" has indirectly \"sabo-ed\" your loaf. So sorry.....so sorry....so sorry....
