STORAGE & FREEZING Recommendations

STORING YOUR BREAD
The shelf life of our breads is 3-4 days. We recommend enjoying the pretzels same-day.
Because our breads are made without preservatives, they do not act like commercially store-bought bread, so they do not have a long shelf life, which is a good thing, and what real bread should be!
The best way to store your loaves or bagels is in 100% linen bread bags. The linen prolongs the life of your bread by keeping the interior moist and the crust, well, crusty! They’re really worth the investment.
Another way to store your fresh bread is in resealable bags. Place your bread in a cool, dry area of your kitchen. Humidity can cause your bread to mould.

FREEZING YOUR BREAD
If you wish to freeze your bread, we recommend freezing it as soon as you can, that way the bread will keep its freshness when you’re ready to defrost it. We recommend freezing your loaves and bagels in freezer-friendly bags.
For loaves, we recommend slicing them up before placing them into a freezer bag, that way you can pull slices out as you go and they’ll defrost more quickly. Freeze half a loaf or a full loaf and defrost it when you know you’ll be needing more bread for a meal.

To defrost your bread, place it on a wire-rack, if you have one, as this will allow air to circulate all around your bread.
To bring your loaf ‘back to life’, place in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes. The crust will crisp up again and you’ll have a lovely, warm, fresh loaf of bread.
