HOW TO KEEP YOUR sourdough loaF FRESH

(scroll down for croissant refresh)

Like a good crunch?:

Keep your loaf in paper bag to preserve its crunch for roughly 5 days.

Less Crunch?:
Keep your loaf in a plastic bag for roughly 5 days

Planning Ahead?:

If you wont finish your bread within 5 days, I recommend freezing your loaf.

FREEZING OPTIONS:

Option 1: Slice and Freeze.

Slice your loaf, then freeze in plastic bag. This way is easier to just grab a slice, pop it in the toaster, and enjoy.

Option 2: Freeze the whole loaf.

Wrap the entire loaf and freeze it whole. This is great if you want to enjoy the whole loaf for a family dinner or make a bread bowl.

REFRESHING ENTIRE FROZEN LOAF:

Defrost it completely (let it sit on the counter for roughly 4 hours). Once defrosted, unwrap it and run it under the faucet or spritz it with a spray bottle enough to get the surface wet. Place on baking sheet, bake at 350F until the breads’ crust is crispy again, to your liking. You’ll taste the difference!

CROISSANTS

After 1-2 days of purchase, I recommending refreshing them in the toaster/air fryer/oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. This way they are slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the perfect texture!
