Detailed explanation-1: -Make sure you know how to properly store your breads, muffins, cookies and more so that they don’t age quicker than you’d like. Store them in a tight-fitting container and never store in the fridge (this will dry out baked goods).
Detailed explanation-2: -Any items stored in the fridge need to be returned to room temperature (or reheated if to be served warm) prior to serving for ease of slicing, and to ensure the best taste and texture. Baked goods will stay fresh for three to five days in the fridge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bread and baked products such as muffins, bagels, quick breads, waffles, pastries, cakes and cookies are safely stored on the counter or in the pantry. Storing in the refrigerator can increase shelf-life by 2-3 weeks by reducing spoilage issues such as mold growth.
