That vent, on top of the fridge, makes any bread I set on top of there, after a few days, the part of the bread touching that vent, becomes hard. I was wondering for months why this was happening and now I know why, I have no clue how, but it does.

Probably just the hot air or air movement and dehydrating the bread

I frequently stay at my man's house 4 days a week. I went home recently and found a half loaf of bread in a cabinet I'd totally forgotten about. It was at least 2 months old and still fresh. Because, I noticed that if I leave the bread in the fridge, it gets hard, like you describe. Last summer, even though I only have a small kitchen to work in, I began making our bread. That makes a heck of a mess in a tiny kitchen which irritates the beJesus out of him, but he suffers through it.
I can see where heat might lower the integrity of commercial and home baked bread. It's not normal and can't be healthy for bread to stay that fresh for that long at room temp. Home baked bread with regular ingredients typically molds in about 5 days at room temp. I didn't have time to bake bread this week, and now I shudder at even looking commercial bread. I remember as a kid, and I was born in 1958, that commercial bread would mold, and we had to make sure we ate it before it molded or we cut the mold off
Well, Glen Beck to the rescue as to why, with two broadcasts a few months ago. We have quit eating commercial and processed food as much as possible. We have cravings for sure, but he won't eat Oreo's any longer, hates not eating Doritos, and other processed foods. We recently and accidentally bought genetically engineered Hellman's "Real" Mayonnaise. BS on the real! We live in the country, and that's all our Dollar General had that day.
