Notes
- Cover loosely with a tea towel and store at room temperature for 24 hours.
- Like most homemade baked goods, you’ll get the longest shelf life by storing this bread in the fridge. Place the loaf into an airtight container, wrap it in plastic wrap, or store slices in a zip-top baggie. It should keep fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can eat the bread straight from the fridge, lightly toast it in the toaster oven or warm it up for about 25 seconds in the microwave.
- To freeze, wrap in aluminum foil, then plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to about 3 months. Defrost at room temperature overnight, remove the plastic wrap, then gently reheat in a 350ºF oven for 10-15 minutes. Or simply reheat slices in the toaster or microwave.
