Sadly dry bread. Mexico City. November 2018. |
In Mexico City, I went every morning to a local bakery for my day's bread.
The bread baggers asked: Paper or plastic?
We should get paper, right? Of course. Not only for the environment but for the bread.
Well, damn.
I discovered that putting my bread in a paper bag for the day resulted in dry, crumbly bread before the day was out. Putting my bread in a plastic bag resulted in soft, chewy bread all day.
Counter-intuitive to me.
My solution: Re-use my plastic bag on my daily bread pick-ups.
It could be most of the world already knew this about bread.
