We all know the feeling—you're getting ready to make a sandwich. You reach for a loaf of bread, only to find stale, crunchy, slices that could easily chip a tooth. From homemade banana bread and naan to beer bread and rye, we love ourselves some fresh loaves. But in order to prolong their shelf-life (and perhaps save a tooth), they need to be stored properly. This is where a good bread box comes in. A bread box may not seem necessary, but you'll thank us the next time you grab a moist loaf of bread or muffin from one. While your grandma's old bread box may be a bit of an eyesore, there are plenty of stylish models on the market that also help keep your countertops clutter-free. We saved you time by finding the best ones you can buy.

For a sleek, modern design, look no further than the Brabantia Roll Top Bread Box, which is constructed out of durable and easy-to-clean steel and aluminum. It also has a flat top for storing kitchen utensils.

Add sophistication and warmth to your kitchen with the Williams Sonoma Olivewood Breadbox. It's carved from solid olivewood making it durable and sturdy, and it features two-tone grain markings. The sliding acrylic door also allows you to see what goodies are inside without letting air in.

The Williams Sonoma Pantry Bread Box has a sleek and low profile perfect for any modern kitchen. It's made of high-fired glazed porcelain with a solid acacia wood lid that absorbs excess moisture.

The Yamazaki Tosca Bread Box will instantly turn a cluttered kitchen into a sleek, clean space. It's roomy enough for bread, tea, condiments—you name it. And since it's made out of sturdy steel, you can store up to 22 pounds on top of it, making it a great space-saving solution.

When looking for the best bread boxes we looked for products that keep baked goods freshest. We also looked for bread boxes of various sizes and styles to accommodate any kitchen, big or small. Since bread boxes take up countertop real estate, we sought out models that have room to hold kitchen utensils either inside or on top.
