FAQ

Q: How long does sourdough bread stay fresh?
A: Sourdough bread stays fresh for 4-5 days on the counter if wrapped in a clean towel or stored in a bread box.
It can last up to 1 week in the fridge (though refrigeration may dry it out) and 3-6 months in the freezer if properly wrapped.
Q: What’s the best way to store sourdough bread?
A: To keep your sourdough bread fresh, store it in a breathable container like a bread box or wrap it in a clean towel. Avoid plastic bags, as they can make the crust soggy.

  • 1. Let the bread thaw at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

  • 3. Spray loaf with a small amount of water.
  • 4. Bake the bread for 10-15 minutes to restore its crispy crust and fresh-baked flavor.
Q: What if my sourdough bread goes stale?
A: If your sourdough bread is stale, sprinkle it lightly with water and heat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
This will soften the interior and crisp the crust.
