A bread box is a small, enclosed space. In the days before plastic bags and plastic wrap, that small space would become more humid from the bread in it and the enclosure would reduce the rate at which the humidity was diffused. Thus, the bread in the bread box would not dry out as quickly as it would if left on the cupboard shelf. Dried bread is stale bread and is not fresh.
You should never microwave bread as this can dry it out or over heat resulting in toughening!
Freezing is acceptable but storing in a refrigerator can also dry it out.
There are many do's and don'ts about storing bread but the best thing to do is eat it on the day if you can't store it in the dark in an airtight covering. If it is crusty bread it it may soften slightly and have to be placed back in the oven to re-crust.
Softer breads such as a sandwich loaf can simply be wrapped in a plastic bag until required, a paper bag is not recommended!
yes, for about 2-3 more weeks than putting your bread in a freezer
in a bread box
get a big plastic tub.
To keep it fresh
I believe that if you keep bread in the freezer, it will last longer than if it was at room temperature or if it was in the fridge.

Bread boxes keep bread and other baked goods fresh for a longer period of time. They do this by keeping the bread at room temperature, and be allowing air circulation. The bread box is also used to ensure that pests do not get into the bread.
If it is store-bought bread, keep it in the bag you bought it in and store in a room-temperature environment. If it is home-made bread, put it in a plastic bag and store in a cupboard until ready to eat!
the plastic one
Store them in the fridge. That works for me :)
They buried it in the ground to keep it fresh.
Wrap your banana bread in cling wrap to keep it moist. Store it in the refrigerator or a cool place. A warm place will dry the bread out.
You can keep it in the freezer and when ready to eat take out a day before.
you should keep bread airtight because the more air that isn't circulating through that particular loaft of bread the softer the bread will stay and the fresher the bread will be.you wouldn't have crustied up bread if you keep it airtight. air is of cours, going to insert itself inside the loaft of bread when you open up the loaft to grap you a piece. After you have grabbed you a piece of bread make sure you push as much air out of the bread bag as you can and it will prevent the bread for being less fresh.
Freezing it can keep it for over a month.
