I have always advocated the use of a breadbox, which, like a butter bell, is difficult for most Americans to ascribe credibility to. Whether bread is simply a sandwich ingredient to you, or you really, really love bread and put lots of consideration into what type and how it relates to the rest of the meal, your bread deserves a place of honor in your kitchen. A breadbox really does help or prevent mold growth and keeps the bread fresh. And this one is so beautiful! Let this be the beginning of a life where you honor your bread.
