So I always put bread in my brown sugar just because that what my mom always did, but I never understood why? I think it's supposed to make the brown sugar not clump. How does it work?

We'd use half an apple, but only after the brown sugar had hardened. (not all the time) Same idea. With a tightly sealed container, not often needed. – Ecnerwal Feb 20 '17 at 3:23

The moisture from the bread is absorbed by the brown sugar. After a while, the bread will be like a withered old mummified piece of white toast. Get rid of it, and put a new piece of bread in there.

3... which keeps the brown sugar from turning into a bunch of rocks that you have to crush up, but has no moisture, so behaves more like granulated sugar when you try to use it. – Joe Feb 19 '17 at 2:32
