How should I store my bread?
For best freshness, store your bread in a paper or linen bag, or in a bread box, where it will stay fresh for 3–5 days. This allows the bread to breathe while protecting the crust and crumb.Can I refrigerate the bread?
Yes. If you’d like a longer shelf life, you may store your bread in the refrigerator. If using a container, place a paper towel over the cut end of the loaf to help absorb moisture and prevent the crust from becoming soggy during extended storage.PLEASE NOTE: I store my bread in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator. I am not sure how long that one load was in there before it got fuzzy. I have eaten off one loaf kept in the refrigerator for two weeks, and it was good the whole time.
Can I freeze the bread?
Absolutely. For storage beyond 7 days, freeze bread in an airtight bag. We recommend slicing the loaf before freezing so you can easily reheat individual slices as needed.Please note: I have frozen my half loaves whole, allowed them to defrost, sliced and enjoyed them as if they were fresh. Maybe I am new to this bread-eating thing, but it tastes delicious whether I freeze it or eat it fresh.
How do I refresh crusty loaves?
To revive crusty loaves, warm them in a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes. With proper care, your bread will stay fresh, flavorful, and delicious. -
