FAQs/ Bread Tips
Bread storage
Store bread at room temperature—for up to two days—in a sealed plastic bag.
If you’re going to keep the bread longer than, say, two days, wrap bread tightly in foil, place in a freezer bag, and freeze. Thaw the slices at room temperature, or in the microwave or oven. (For a frozen full or half-loaf heat the bread, still wrapped in foil, in a 450-degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes, then crisp it by removing the foil and returning it to the oven for a minute or two.)
What about stale bread?
If you find yourself with stale bread, wrap it in plastic wrap and reheat briefly in a microwave or toast lightly. You must, however, use it almost immediately or it will become quite brittle.
What about storing bread in the fridge?
Only refrigerate bread that you’re intending to reheat (e.g., toast or grill) later on.
