Water and bread do not combine to make mold. Mold is a living organism that grows from molt spores, which can be found in most environments. Mold needs moisture and food to grow, and the starch in bread is an excellent food source.

Will bread be moldy after 2 weeks if it is in water?

In a normally humid atmosphere unadulterated bread left in a bread bin or on a counter top would go mouldy before 2 weeks had passed. This may vary during cold temperatures or if the bread is loaded with antifungal agents. Bread submerged in water would probably have disintegrated within a day or two. Bread mould is airborne. If you simply mean that the bread got damp and was then exposed to the atmosphere - yes, it would be stale and mould would start to grow. Even if bread has mould on it it is not inedible. With an uncut loaf the mould will grow on the outside first - Simply cut off any visible mould, slice the bread and grill or toast it. Another trick is to hold the complete loaf (not sliced) very briefly under running water and then wrap it in tinfoil and bake it for 30 minutes. You'll get a lovely tender loaf with a crunchy crust as if it had been freshly baked.


What will happen if you sprinkle water on bread and keep it for a week?

I'm supposing you have a good reason for sprinkling water on bread . . . The condition of the bread will depend upon how moist the bread was to begin with and what was in the water. Adding water will increase the moisture. Too much will make it soggy.

Is bread becoming mouldy physical or chemical change?

Bread has the right environment for mould spores to grow. It is warm (if kept out of the fridge), has a moisture content & the surface is textured perfectly for mould spores to take. Therefore it is a perfect host for their growth. As the mould spores grow, they consume the moisture in the bread and they spread into larger moulds as they consume more water. So in response to it being a chemical or physical change, there is something of both processes occurring. As the mould grows there are enzymes being produced by the mould which affect the bread and change its chemical nature, also the physical change is obvious as the bread shrivels due to dehydration. Also the colour and texture constitute a physical change. Hope this helps


Can bread decay without the covering such as cling wrap or a container?

No because bacteria thrives in moist places. When the bread is deprived of water and becomes very dry, it is not a suitable enough environment for bacteria to grow thus no mould is produced.
