For any keen baker, a bread bin with its dry and dark interior is the ideal place to store your makes. Putting your bread in a bread bin will keep it fresh for longer and also allows you to keep your worktops clear from crumbs, loud packaging or brown bags filled with baked goods. Plus you can also use your bread container for storing potatoes, onions and even hard cheeses. We've curated a selection of the most stylish bread bins to keep on your counter which can be easily wiped clean, have a sealed lid and are roomy enough for multiple loaves or pastries.

If all this talk of bread bins is making you crave a warm baguette or fresh bread with a chunk of French butter, check out our 28 best bread recipes. We have plenty of inspiration to get you started, from easy bread rolls perfect to dip in a fresh tomato soup, a classic rosemary and olive oil focaccia and sourdough loaf recipe from ex-baker and olive writer Adam Bush.
