Storage Guide

How to Store Your Sourdough

Your sourdough tastes best within 48 hours. Here is how to keep it fresh — or freeze it for later.

How to Freeze Your Sourdough

Once your loaf is completely cool, slice it all the way through. Never freeze a warm loaf.

Place slices in a sealed freezer bag and press out as much air as possible before sealing.

Pop the bag in the freezer. Slices will be fully frozen within a few hours and keep for up to 3 months.

Take one or two slices out and reheat directly in your toaster — no thawing needed.

You can reuse the plastic freezer bag many times. Sourdough freezes better than almost any other bread.

🫓

Keep at room temperature in a bread bag or bread box for up to 48 hours. The crust helps preserve it.

❌

Refrigerating sourdough speeds up staling. Room temp or freezer — never the fridge.

🔥

Place day-old sourdough in a 180°C oven for 8–10 minutes to revive the crust and crumb.
