Storing Bread

Store bread in your belly – hahaha, just kidding (but am I?)! Allow the bread to cool completely before storing it. Place the bread in a plastic or paper bag, bread box, or wrap it in plastic wrap. If wrapping, overlap the sheets slightly to keep out air. Keep stored on kitchen counter, good for up to 5 days.
