🍞 Bread Storage 101 🍞
Keep your bread fresh and delicious with these tips:
1️⃣ Room Temperature: Store in a bread bag or container for up to 2-3 days. Avoid the fridge—it dries out bread faster!
2️⃣ Beeswax wrap: Wrap it in a beeswax wrap to block any airflow.
3️⃣ Freeze for Later: Slice your loaf, wrap it tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw, reheat and enjoy.
Proper storage keeps your bread fresher, longer. Let’s bake (and store!) the world a better place! 🌍

🍞 Take Your Bread from Good to Exceptional! 🍞
Want bakery-quality bread at home? Here’s how:
1️⃣ Start with Quality Ingredients: Use stoneground flour and sea salt for richer flavor and better nutrition. 🌾✨
2️⃣ Perfect Your Stretch and Folds: Build strong gluten for a great crumb structure. 💪
3️⃣ Control Fermentation: Use water temperature to your advantage—warm speeds it up, cold slows it down for more flavor. 🌡️
4️⃣ Add Steam: Create steam in your oven for a beautiful crust and better oven spring. 💨
It’s all in the details—let’s bake the world a better place! 🌍
