Bread Care
Keeping Your Bread Fresh
All House of Bread products are made without artificial preservatives. Follow these simple steps to keep your bread fresh and tasty.

If unsliced, store bread at room temperature for the freshest, best-tasting product.

What you can expect: Our bread should keep for a week at room temperature.

The best place to store bread is in a dark, dry place such as a breadbox or cupboard. Clay breadboxes are particularly good. A good alternative is a closed paper bag or sealed plastic bag.

Bread that will not be consumed within a week should be stored in the freezer. Avoid the refrigerator – refrigeration may retard the molding process, but it increases the staling process – freezing retards both.

If you see any mold on a loaf of bread, throw the whole loaf away – don’t try to cut around the mold.



Refreshing Bread

For soft-crust breads, wrap the loaf in foil and bake in a preheated oven for 8 – 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

For artisan breads, sprinkle or mist slightly with water and place in a preheated oven for 6 – 8 minutes at 400 degrees.

Toasting is another ideal way to refresh the flavor of both soft crust and artisan breads.



Freezing Bread

Wrap room-temperature bread in aluminum foil and place in a freezer-safe plastic bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Bread packaged in this manner can be successfully frozen for 2 months without sacrificing flavor or texture.

If you know upon purchase that the bread will be frozen, ask for an extra bag at time of purchase and double bag for freezing.

Thaw in the unopened plastic bag at room temperature.

Follow our instructions for refreshing bread if needed.



Slicing Tips

Use a high-quality, serrated bread knife and a steady grip.

With gentle, constant pressure “saw” back and forth on the loaf, creating smooth, even slices.

Do not attempt to slice frozen bread, it is easy to cut yourself if the knife slips. Instead, wait for the loaf to thaw before slicing.

Answer 4

Put a small cup of salt in the bread-bin to draw moisture away from the air surrounding the bread. Mould needs moisture to grow.

Answer 5

Half an apple in the bread bin will keep the bread fresher longer

Answer 6

Check there are no crumbs from previous loaves in the bin as the mould from these may contaminate the new bread. Also better to keep the bread wrapped.

Answer 7

I tried a stainless steel bread bin for a while. Same thing as you. I started keeping mine in the fridge.

Answer 8

Check the date in the shop when you buy it as bread usually lasts for 4 days. Why dont you freeze half of the bread so then you can defrost it when you need it.

Answer 9

no leave the end on the front of the bread and it'll stay fresh for longer. IT sounds crazy but it works.

Answer 10

Make sure tin is airtight and put uncooked rice in a net to absorb excess moisture in the tin. keep in cool dark place if possible, but if airtight fridge is ok.
