Ask the MB: Bread Loaf Tying Technique

Ask the MB: Bread Loaf Tying Technique
Q: What is the MB preferred method for closing a loaf of bread? The twistie tie or the spin and tuck?
--Don

A: When it comes to bread, we prefer no bags at all, just bungee cords. A note of caution: Don't get too inspired by this photo and start wearing a beret. They're worse than bagged bread.
