Notes
STORE/FREEZE
Store: I store mine in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. It keeps the bread perfectly moist for about 1 week.
Freeze: Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap and then either another layer of aluminum foil or in a plastic freezer bag. Freezing individual slices is a great idea. You can freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge or on the counter.
