Question 1

What's the best way to store my sourdough bread?

Accepted Answer

To ensure your delicious bread stays fresh and flavorful, here are some simple storage tips:
​
Our bread will stay fresh for up to a week in the paper bag it came in on your counter or in a breadbox/cabinet, we do not recommend refrigerating unless it's a loaf with perishable ingredients (ie pepperoni).

Cut Side Down: After slicing your bread, place it cut side down on a clean cutting board. This helps to minimize exposure to air, which can dry out the bread.

Cover with a Tea Towel: Gently cover the bread with a clean tea towel. This allows the bread to breathe while protecting it from dust and other contaminants.

Avoid Plastic Bags: While it might be tempting to store your bread in a plastic bag, moisture is not its friend! Plastic can trap humidity, leading to a soggy texture and promoting mold growth. Instead, opt for breathable materials.

Alternatively, face the cut end of bread into the bag interior to minimize exposure to air. We actually prefer to cut our loaves from the center working outward, that way the two exposed crumbs can be "closed" back together.

Enjoy Within Days: Our artisan bread is crafted with love, high-quality ingredients, and NO preservatives, making it incredibly delicious — but best enjoyed over the span of a few days—so savor it while it’s fresh!

Question 2

How long does a loaf of sourdough stay fresh?

Accepted Answer

This bread is best enjoyed soon after the bake or over the span of a few days, but it typically doesn't last that long!

If you don't think you'll make it through your whole loaf within a few days - a week, we recommend portioning and freezing.

Question 4

Should I refrigerate my bread?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend refrigerating our bread unless it contains a perishable inclusion such as pepperoni, etc.

Question 5

Can I freeze my sourdough bread to save for later?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If you don't think you'll get through your loaf in a few days you can slice (or larger portion) your bread and freeze in a ziploc bag. No need to defrost, you can toast bread straight from the freezer.

For whole or larger portions of our Country Loaves, get the loaf wet (you can literally run it under the faucet), and then pop it in the oven for a bit to re-heat it, The water will help re-steam the bread!
