Keeping Your Bread Fresh

Because our organic artisan bread is made fresh daily and WITHOUT preservatives it's important to follow these steps to maintain your bread's freshness. 

• If the bread is un-sliced and in storage, keep the bread in a paper bag at room temperature.  
• Once the bread is cut, place the bread sliced side down on a flat surface to keep in the moisture. 
• To warm and re-crisp the bread place it in an oven at 350° for 8 to 12 minutes.  Make sure to keep an eye on the bread as oven temperatures vary.  
• We always recommend keeping the bread in a plastic bag and freezing within 24 hours.  

Slicing Your Bread

Follow these steps to properly slice your bread. 

• Use a high quality serrated bread knife.
• Make sure to use a steady grip and cut with an easy sawing motion. 
• Depending upon how large you want each slice keep a consistent width on each cut. 
• CAUTION: Please do not try and slice your bread while it is frozen as it is easy to slice and cut something other than the bread!

Bread Freezing Instructions

Always start by storing your bread in a plastic bag or container.  It will help maintain a nice soft crust. To re-crsip the bread follow the instructions below. 

• Freeze (up to 8 weeks) in a plastic bag or container with the air squeezed out as much as possible. 
• Thaw in the unopened plastic bag at room temperature.  This will allow the bread to reabsorb the ice crystals. 
• To warm and re-crisp the bread remove it from the storage bag or container and place in the oven at 350° for 8 to 12 minutes.  Make sure not to burn or reheat for too long!  

Enjoy!
