What’s the general consensus on storing bread? In a bread box? In the fridge? In a drawer? Room temp? Looking for ways to increase the number of days a bread can last for both store bought and homemade bread 🍞

Homemade bread: 2-3 days in a paper bag on the counter, or slice and freeze. Generic bread: Usually freeze and then toast a couple slices at a time, refrigerate if we’re using it faster, didn’t care about ideal taste/texture as much.
Do you always slice the bread before you freeze a bread? I usually freeze the whole or half the bread. Just wondering if there is another reason for freezing it that way other than being able to take out the exact amount of slices you want.
How do you thaw/use a half loaf? I think a frozen slice toasts very well, which is why do that.
I usually just let the whole thing thaw and then use it as normal bread… Probably not a good habit. I’ll try slicing up front instead 👍
