Slicing and Storing Bread
For best results, place the bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for
15 to 30 minutes before slicing. Use an electric knife or a serrated knife for even slices. For rectangular slices, place the loaf on its side and slice across.
Store unused bread tightly covered, (sealable plastic bags or plastic containers work well) at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, (up to 1 month) place bread in a tightly covered container in the freezer. Since homemade bread has no preservatives, it tends to dry out and become stale faster than
Leftover or slightly hardened bread may be cut into
