Bread Care & FAQ
Our bread is alive and preservative-free. Follow these steps to ensure every slice tastes as fresh as the moment it left the oven.
On the Counter
Keep sourdough cut-side down on a wooden board or in a paper bag. This preserves the "crunch" while letting the bread breathe.
Best for: Days 1-2The Cloth Bag
For Pillowy Milk Bread, a linen bag or beeswax wrap is ideal. It traps moisture without making the crust soggy.
Best for: Days 3-4The Deep Freeze
Sourdough freezes beautifully! Slice first, place in a freezer-safe bag, and remove air. Toast directly from frozen.
Best for: 1-3 MonthsAwakening the Crust
If your Focaccia or Heritage Hearth has lost its crunch, use this simple bakery trick:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Quickly run the whole loaf under a cold tap or spray it with water. Yes, really!
Place directly on the oven rack for 5-8 minutes to crisp the crust and hydrate the interior.
