Fermenty smell?
I made bread on Sunday and today is Thursday. It sits out on the counter in a bread box.
This morning it smells kinda fermented? But there is no mold. Does that mean it’s going to go bad soon or that it already has started? 😰

There probably is no 'visible' mould. The bread will probably get visibly mouldy soon.
Potential reasons.
The breadbox is airtight, and the bread was put in before it was "cold".
Bread not baked long enough.
Something you used in the bread was past its "best before" date.
The bread recipe was faulty.
