Bread doesn’t have a posted expiration date, just a best by date. This means you can continue eating it until mold, sourness or staleness occurs. 2. To help your bread last longer, store it in the freezer—but only if you have a toaster.
White Bread starting to sour during storage
So, I have a strange problem. The last couple time I baked white bread, about 4 days after baking the bread gets a fowl, sour smell; not like sour dough. Here is what I am doing.
- 4 ¾ Cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Cup Water
- 1 ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Baking 325˚ for 40 min. Brushing with butter after baking – cooling for a few hours and bagging in plastic. My goal was to keep the crust, nice and soft… like my 5 & 6 year old like. 🙂
Could the butter be going sour? Any ideas?

Sourdough bread tasted great and is better for you. But have you ever had sourdough that was just too sour? There could be several reasons your sourdough is too sour for your taste. I will go over six things you can do to reduce the acidity or increase it if that is what you want to do.
The longer you ferment your dough in a warmer spot, the sourer the final bread will be. It will also prove faster and milder. Conversely, if you want to increase the sourness, you could prove the dough in the fridge. It would take much longer but more acid will be produced in that extended fermentation time.
