I've started making my own bread and keeping it in a bread box. This alignment is called "lawful insufferable"
Bread boxes promote mold growth.
Mine is just a foodsafe plastic bin which gets cleaned out every week. My loaves scarcely last long enough to go off anyway 🤭
See? Insufferable.
I haven't found anything that isn't akin to old wives tales backing this claim up. Got any sources?
"retaining a small amount of humidity whilst also allowing a small amount of ventilation. Some bread boxes don’t allow any ventilation, but these can cause too much moisture retention and allow faster mold growth"

Bread should be stored in a cool dry place to insure it lasts longest. Breadboxes are the opposite of ideal.
Bread boxes are antiquated tech in a time where bread was meant to be eaten faster and as a method of rodent protection. The same with pie cupboards/safes.

It sounds like it's just bad if you don't know how to use one.
