Freezing & Storing
Keep your bread fresh longer — freezing, thawing, and storage best practices.
Overview
Good bread goes stale fast if you don't handle it right. Sourdough keeps better than most bread because of its fermentation, but it still needs the right storage. Leave it out too long and it dries. Wrap it wrong and it softens the crust. This page shows you how to store bread for daily use and how to freeze it without losing quality. When to slice. What to wrap. How to bring it back. If you're baking great bread, this is how you make it last.
