Surprisingly, I've never seen this in print in a book or anywhere else, but 
a glass cake dome is a splendid place to store bread. (Or muffins, quick 
breads, tea loaves, cupcakes, rolls, buns, and yes, cakes.)  It is 
certainly more friendly to the environment than using either paper or 
plastic bags, since, with care, it is infinitely reusable.  Since it is not 
completely airtight, condensation is not an issue, and crusts hold fairly 
close to their original condition.  (A small glass dome, typically used for 
cheese, is the right size for a few muffins or rolls, or a miniature loaf 
of bread.) In addition, it is more attractive to display baked goods under 
glass as edible kitchen art!

Happy baking,
Carolyn
