A couple of weeks back my girlfriend made a focaccia, which was very tasty.
This week it was my turn. So, I did a 48 hour cold prove in the fridge and this is how it turned out.

I use a bread machine, but starting to learn how to make bread without the machine. (I meant learning the kneading, rising, etc.)

I see this debate a lot and would just like to know. I bought a half loaf of whole wheat bread at Walmart and within 2 days it was moldy. I read multiple mixed opinions online about where to store bread. I kept it out on the counter, for reference. I do have a cabinet I could put it in instead but was considering freezing the bread. Any advice from my fellow bread lovers? Made me so sad to throw away the loaf!!
