Suggestions for Storing and Serving Our Bread

If you have a wooden bread box, this is the ideal place to store all our breads.  Before you put it in the box and wrap it in a clean, dry dish towel. 
You can also keep it in a paper bag on your kitchen counter.  This will preserve the crisp texture of the crust.  Because the long fermentation process that we use encourages beneficial acids which act as a natural preservative, many of our breads will keep for up to three days if left in the bag you bought them in. When you slice into a loaf, keeping it cut side down on the cutting board will prevent it from drying out. If you find yourself with a loaf that is a day or two old and has not been sliced into, you can revive it quite nicely by moistening it (running it under the faucet briefly works fine) and placing it in a 400F oven for 7 or 8 minutes.
Our breads also freeze well.  Keep sealed tightly in a plastic bag while in your freezer and thaw it in the same bag at room temperature.  After thawing, placing your loaf in a 350F oven for 15-20 minutes will revive some of the crispiness of the crust.  Placing a slice in your toaster for a brief time will also do the same.
