Why Bread Needs a Breathable Bag
A fresh loaf gives off steam as it cools, and that steam is what softens a crust if it is trapped. Paper bread bags breathe, letting the steam escape so a sourdough or baguette keeps its crackly crust. A plastic bag traps the moisture and turns the crust leathery. This is why bakeries sell crusty bread in paper, not plastic. The long format fits the loaf with room to fold the top closed.
Sizes and Styles
Bread bags come in baguette, batard, and loaf lengths, with a flat or gusseted base for round and tin loaves. A window version shows the bread while keeping the breathable paper around it. For shorter items and pastries, choose kraft bakery bags instead.
