I'm having trouble taking this seriously, but I can understand how you might not be able to find a good explanation searching.

I make bread (in a breadmaker) all the time as well as pizza dough, cinnamon buns, etc. I don't keep regular bread in the house, so I have a little experience with how to keep it fresh. So here's the skinny as I know it -

1) A bread box works by reducing the moisture loss by containing and limiting the air flow.

2) A plastic bag will work better, except you cannot put fresh bread in a bag right away - you will get tonnes of condensation which will end up back on the bread and make it soft/slimey/prone to mold. It has to cool completely first.

3) Put your bagged bread in the fridge for even more longevity.
