FOOD STORAGE — HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP...

• Cool home-baked bread thoroughly before storing.
• Place bread in plastic storage bag or breadbox, or wrap in foil and store at room temperature.
• Refrigerator storage is not recommended, as bread will quickly dry out and become stale — for longer-term storage, freeze bread instead.
• To freeze, wrap tightly with aluminum foil or place in a heavy-duty freezer bag.
• Freezer time shown is for best quality only — foods kept constantly frozen at 0° F will keep safe indefinitely.
