How long does it take for sourdough bread to mold?

Answer 1

A long time. For me, it took more than 2 weeks.

Answer 2

It's all about humidity. I've had bread on the counter mold within 3 days in the summer in Virginia in high humidity and had it last nearly 3 weeks in Texas where it's dry. If your bread is molding quickly, just keep it in the fridge. The "chilled" bread will feel a little firmer when you first take it out, since it's really airy, a couple of slices will warm up to room temperature and be nice and soft again by the time you finish fixing your sandwich!

Answer 3

Sourdough bread's mild level of acidity will discourage the growth of most mold species. We leave my sourdough loaves out of the refrigerator and the loaves will get eaten up in a week but they never grow mold.


The time required for sourdough or any bread to mold depends on that particular bread's level of acidity, the humidity and temperature of the room, and whether it is well wrapped or allowed to become dry.

Answer 4

A long time. For me, it took more than 2 weeks.

Answer 5

if you wet or dampen the bread before you put it in a little bag and leave it in a cool dark space...make sure to check it daily for mold.

Answer 6
