I make simple artisan bread (1 cup water, 2 cups flour, 1.5 tsp yeast, 1.5 tsp salt). It usually starts to look like mold spot start growing in about 4 - 5 days. Is there anything that could be added to the ingredients to make it last longer? Or any modifications to the recipe?

If possible, I'd prefer to add ingredients instead of extra steps like putting some in the freezer, or keep in air-tight container, etc.

  • @Joe. I would call that a duplicate. I am deleting my answer and voting to close. – moscafj Sep 29 '23 at 00:34
  • Yeah, feels like a duplicate. – FuzzyChef Sep 29 '23 at 00:41
  • I can't think in cups, because we bake by weight here, but I know my sourdough keeps less well in summer (warm humid kitchen) and less well since I reduced the salt in it. But I don't know how much salt you're using compared to me, and anyway the acidity and hydration both make a difference too – Chris H Sep 29 '23 at 09:40
  • 1/2 cup water, 1 cup flour, 0.75 tsp yeast & salt, bake twice as often...or Eat More Bread. – Ecnerwal Sep 30 '23 at 17:54
