Slicing and storing bread
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
For best results place bread on a wire rack and allow to cool for 15-30
minutes before slicing.
Use an electric knife or a sharp knife with a serrated blade for even slices.
Store unused bread tightly covered in a plastic bag at room temperature for
up to three days. If weather is hot and humid, store in the refrigerator
overnight.
For longer storage (up to one month), place bread in a tightly covered
container in the freezer.
If you store the bread in the refrigerator, leave it out to bring it to room
temperature before serving.
Since homemade bread has no preservatives it tends to dry out and
become stale faster than commercially made bread.
Leftover slightly hardened bread may be cut into 1.3 cm (half inch) or 2.5
cm (1 inch) cubes and used in favourite recipes to make croutons, bread
pudding or stuffing.
