How to Store Your Bread
If stored correctly, the natural acidity of sourdough bread prevents mold and keeps the bread edible for up to a week. Moisture is not good for your sourdough so avoid storing it in the refrigerator. A few of our favorite storage methods are:
A bread box or Dutch oven with a lid
Wrapped in a tea towel
In the paper bag
Reusable container or resealable bag (if using this method, watch for moisture build-up and vent the container or bag if needed)
To freeze your bread,
Slice and use parchment paper to separate the slices into a plastic storage bag or container. Thaw a slice or two as you need it!
If freezing and thawing a whole loaf, allow the loaf to thaw, then quickly rinse the loaf under water (3-4 seconds) and place directly on the rack in a preheated 350 degree oven for approx. 10 minutes until the crust is crispy again. This also works great for a loaf that's been forgotten on the counter for several days.
