I live in Florida, it's extremely humid here. Store bought bread and home made (bread machine) bread is always too moist for our liking.
I've read on the internet to never keep bread in the refrigerator because it will make it get stale more quickly.
I'm wondering if this might actually help our situation. What do you think, will it dry out the bread somewhat?
Do you have any suggestions? I bought a linen bread bag, which was a mistake, as the bread got stale within one day (because it was sliced I guess).
Thanks in advance!

Flour-free breads are, in my experience, very hydroscopic: they absorb water from the air even faster than regular bread. However, since the bread you're using is presliced, there's a simple solution: store the bread in the freezer. Just separate the slices (so that you can pull them apart after it's frozen), and put it in a ziplock freezer bag.
This does mean that you'll need to toast, or at least thaw, the bread before using it. However, I've found that freezing bread results in less of a "stale" flavor than refrigerating it.
