Cloth Bread Bags for Fresher, Plastic-Free Storage

There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh-baked bread cooling on the counter. Whether it’s a warm loaf of sourdough, a soft sandwich bread, or a rustic country loaf, homemade bread always feels like a little slice of simple living. But once that bread has cooled and you’ve sliced into it, the next challenge arises — how to store it.

For years, I wrapped my bread in plastic wrap, slipped it into plastic storage bags, or tucked it away in a plastic container. But as I’ve slowly moved toward reducing my reliance on plastic, I knew there had to be a better way. Enter: cloth bread bags — a simple, sustainable solution that keeps your bread fresh without the waste.

In this post, I’ll share with you why cloth bread bags are a game-changer, how to use them, and, best of all — how to make your own!
