GustoferEither or. But I do suck the air out of the bag first, then twist and tie/tuck and store it in the freezer. All I eat is homemade bread sans preservatives, so storing in the freezer is a must.

sjtillI make our household bread (whole wheat ground at home); we freeze it in Zip-Locs. When we take out a loaf, we thaw it in the microwave; at that point we use Safeway plastic bread loaf bags, spin and tuck. My wife thought I was talking about hemorrhoid treatment.
But regarding closing the bread bag: she's with me. No closure or twist tie. Twist and tuck.

honestlouTwist and tuck will do everything the twist tie does, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT MOVED. Twist and twist tie, and there are no issues if the bread gets moved.
Bread freezes very well, and defrosts quickly just sitting out on a plate. If you microwave bread (or pizza), you had better be prepared to eat it promptly.

SteynI have no opinion on this, but I am jealous of your marital “problem”.

flashguyI skin my hands up the bag from the bottom to squeeze out some air, then twist the bag close to the heel and close it with a twist tie. I don't refrigerate my bread.

NismoI bought a 100-pack of these in various sizes for about $9, tossed a handful in
that drawer that's in the kitchen.
Also great for keeping closed bagged freezer items.
I still do tend to twist and tuck bread to be honest.

But I'm the only one here that does that.

OttoSigLet her know that your inferior way of securing the bag is to intentionally allow for some staleness on the first 3 pieces in hopes she gets the hint and makes you some French Toast every so often.

Oz_ShadowOh is the heel left on? We leave it on as a sacrifice piece to dry out first.

I leave the heel and the second slice in to act as a deterrent to spoilage. When I'm down to the 2 heels, I make a sandwich with them, too. (I like the heels.)
