How long does it take to make sourdough bread?
My naturally leavened (sourdough) bread typically takes between 24 and 36 hours to make each batch.

How should I store my sourdough bread?
We usually leave the loaf on the cutting board with the cut-side facing down on the board. If your loaf hasn’t been cut yet, wrap the loaf in cotton or other natural fiber towel or cloth that is. “breathable”. Storing sourdough bread in a plastic bag will soften the crust and shorten the loaf's lifespan. If you still have some bread left after 3 or 4 days, cut it into 1/2” to 1” squares and turn it into croutons.

How should I store my yeasted sandwich bread?
My yeasted bread does not have preservatives like commercial, store-bought bread. Therefore, the bread will not stay fresh for weeks like store-bought bread. My sandwich bread made with a milk-based or water-based tangzhong will typically last in the plastic bread bag, at a cool room temperature, for 5-7 days but the bread should be gone well before that timeframe.

Can bread be frozen?
Yes! Both naturally leavened (sourdough) and yeasted bread freeze quite well. Wrap a slice, slices, or the remainder of a loaf (fresh not stale) tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to three months.

How should I thaw frozen bread to eat it?
Take the bread out of the freezer and thaw to room temperature. Once at room temperature, preheat oven to 350F degrees. Remove the bread from the plastic wrap and place half or whole loaves on a sheet pan. Reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes (or until desired). For slices, simply toast or grill as desired.

What bread slicer do you use?
We recommend looking into America’s Bread Slicer. This is an American-made bread-slicing “jig” using a bread knife. This is how we slice our sandwich breads at home.

What flour do you use?
I currently source our organic and conventional flours from Central Milling and Camas Country Mill.
