FROM THE BREAD-BAG INSERT
Keep it fresh. Don’t waste a crumb.
Keeping your sourdough fresh
Store your bread in its bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating it, which speeds up staling. For longer storage, slice and freeze it.
Freezing your loaf
Slice before freezing, then wrap well or place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Toast individual slices straight from frozen, or thaw the loaf at room temperature.
Bring the crust back to life
If the crust softens after a day or two, sprinkle it lightly with water and bake at 375°F for 5–8 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Ideas for leftover sourdough
Turn the last slices into homemade croutons, French toast, grilled cheese, garlic bread, bruschetta, or avocado toast. Cubes work beautifully in panzanella bread salad, bread pudding, or breakfast strata. Or make breadcrumbs for meatballs and casseroles.
