Eventually it can do that. Mold can grow on bread as well as any other food. Airborne mold spores only require a moist environment to thrive and colonize. This process is not as rapid though as compared to mold forming on food in a warmer environment.

Yes, mould can grow on stale bread. Stale bread usually becomes dry and provides an ideal environment for mould spores to thrive and grow, leading to the development of mould on the surface of the bread.

What happens to bread when left exposed to air on a countertop?

Will bread be moldy after 2 weeks if it is in water?

In a normally humid atmosphere unadulterated bread left in a bread bin or on a counter top would go mouldy before 2 weeks had passed. This may vary during cold temperatures or if the bread is loaded with antifungal agents. Bread submerged in water would probably have disintegrated within a day or two. Bread mould is airborne. If you simply mean that the bread got damp and was then exposed to the atmosphere - yes, it would be stale and mould would start to grow. Even if bread has mould on it it is not inedible. With an uncut loaf the mould will grow on the outside first - Simply cut off any visible mould, slice the bread and grill or toast it. Another trick is to hold the complete loaf (not sliced) very briefly under running water and then wrap it in tinfoil and bake it for 30 minutes. You'll get a lovely tender loaf with a crunchy crust as if it had been freshly baked.
