How to keep sourdough fresh for 4 days.

A crusty sourdough loaf cut in half on a wooden board showing the open crumb

Short answer

Cut side down on a board for two days, then in a paper bag. Never in the fridge. Freeze slices you won't eat by day four.

In detail

Sourdough keeps longer than most bread, if you skip the plastic.

  1. Day 1 and 2.

    Cut side down on a wooden board. The crust protects the rest.

  2. Day 3 and 4.

    Paper bag, or a clean towel.

  1. Leftovers.

    Slice and freeze. Toast straight from frozen.

  2. Stale crust?

    Wet it lightly and bake 8 minutes at 350°F.
