Storing Our Bread:

On countertop:

(~3-4 days at room temperature)

• Wrap the loaf in a tea towel or place in ziplock bag to keep bread from drying out. If it starts to dry out, spritz with water and place it in a hot oven for a few minutes to refresh.

In freezer: 

• **Best method** You can pre-slice the loaf and place it in a freezer bag. When put in the toaster, the slices come out like fresh baked bread that is perfectly toasted.

• To freeze a whole loaf, wrap and then place in a freezer bag. Before eating, remove frozen loaf from the freezer and let it come to room temperature throughout the day. 

• Straight from the freezer - shower frozen loaf with water then put in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes covered and then an additional 10-20 minutes uncovered to get the crust nice and crunchy again. Keep covered with foil if a less crusty result is desired.
