How do I store Bread++ bread?

Our bread keeps for at least a week just sitting on the counter. You can also keep it in a paper (not plastic) bag or a breadbox (do people still have those?). Do not refrigerate -- doing so just dries it out.

Can I freeze this bread?

Yes, this bread freezes beautifully. Here's what you do: slice your bread. Put it into a plastic bag (the kind that vegetables come in from the market) and seal with a twist tie. Then put that into a 1-gallon freezer zip bag. Write a label on an index card and put it between the two bags. Freeze.

To un-freeze, take out the slices you need and toast them. Most toasters have a setting for frozen bread. Or just toast it a little longer than usual. Or, leave it out on the counter for about 30 minutes to defrost.

Freezing interrupts the staling process, so the fresher the bread is when you freeze it, the fresher it is when you unfreeze it.

NOTE: We don't recommend freezing cornbread or banana bread.
