Baked items taste the best when they’re fresh, but can get dry and stale over time. Fortunately, there’s a hack you can use to preserve the taste and texture of your baked goods.

Simply store your baked goods with a slice of white bread in an airtight container, preferably at room temperature. The bread will lend moisture and keep the baked items soft.

However, since moisture can also lead to mold growth and food spoilage, make sure to keep an eye on your baked goods and the overall moisture of the container.

Also, adding a slice of white bread to the container won’t keep your baked goods fresh indefinitely, so it’s still best to either eat or freeze them within a few days.
