--Put it in its own plastic bag and hang it from your handlebars or rear rack separate from everything else.
--Get a grocery pannier or rack basket so you can fill it up and put the bread on top.
--Get a detachable front basket that the bread can ride in.
--If you are carrying stuff in a backpack or messenger bag, clip the bag with the bread in it to the outside.

I use primaryreality's first approach--dangle the bread in its own plastic bag from the bars. I do the same with cartons of eggs. They keep safe, aand are light enough that they don't affect steering. Of course, I do look like a dork, but I'm used to that!

Well for long French bread I just put it at the top of my mesenger bag and fold the flap over it. For regular sliced bread I use a Coke (o rother soda) empty 12 pack box. The long kind they use now will let a loaf of wonderbread slide in snug. Then I put that in the bag. You can either cut it down to loaf length or use the extra space for other stuff.
I once padded a 12 pack box to carry a bottle of wine in. I also use a bigger shoe box (I have bigger feet) padded to carry a dozen eggs in my bag.

Get some heavy duty bread. That stuff is dense. It's more nutritious too.

Yeah, I had no idea why everyone was talking about "squished" bread. Then it dawned on me that they were talking about ...
...and I was thinking about...

I usually pack it last, so it ends up being on the top of everything else. Of course I have a short trip to the grocery store, maybe that helps too?

Those are pretty cool boxes. I had looked for something like that in the past with no luck. I guess my empty Coke 12 pack box is the ghetto version of that.
I'm going to have to get one of those. . .thanks.

I'm glad you think so. I thought my suggestion could be taken the wrong way, but glad it wasn't. Baking bread is great if you have the time or have a machine. I did regularly for about a year the 'traditional way' and my mom found out and bought me a bread machine about 3yrs. ago. I still use it regulary about 3x per month - maybe not as good texture or looks as hand kneeded and risen bread (but better than store bought), but so simple and less time consuming/messy so I prefer it. If you get in the habit of making bread, then perhaps a bread machine will be a tool you will use regulary instead of putting in the cabiniet and forgetting about like many people do.

After seeing the picture of the heavy loafs, and reading noisebeam's comment...
I might just have to look into that... If I can make a good "campagnar" style bresd it will last me two weeks... And make yummy sandwiches...

I get that German bread that's like a dark brick with grains in it, it's good!
I had some salad greens I didn't want to get squished though, so I tied it so the bag it was in hung off the bottom of the messenger bag, worked great.
Carrying stuff hanging from the handlebars is a last resort, but it does work too. And some handlebar baskets attach/detach easily so you can put one on for the grocery run.

much easier to carry 5lb bags of wheat flour,yeast packets,salt, and honey
I make wheat bread the old fashioned way once or twice a week, its become a habit, and it blows the store bought stuff away.
