Bread Care Instructions

COOL IT & BAG it!

Hot bread must cool completely before you bag it, or it will become soggy. Be sure bread is cool to your wrist before placing it in the bag (usually within two hours after purchasing). Place the bread in the plastic bag and press out any extra air. Twist the top of the bag tightly and secure with a twisty tie. A loose tie allows air to sneak in and dry out your bread.
 

STore it!

The best thing about Great Harvest bread is that, unlike many other breads, it will stay fresh and delicious at least 7-10 days when properly stored.    How?      Simply leave the bag on your kitchen counter out of the sun and away from heat sources (like the top of the frig).   Never put it IN the fridge—the sweetener crystallizes and dries out the bread.
 

  

  Warm It!

    To reheat a loaf, place it in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350°.   Rolls: 10 minutes at 350°.   Microwaving….we don’t recommend it. (However, toasting a slice of Great Harvest bread definitely ranks among the Top Ten Ways to Start your Day!)


 

FreEze it!

Our bread freezes great!  It’s best to wait 24 hours after baking before you put your bread in the freezer.  Remember to double-bag it too, to prevent freezer burn. Frozen bread will keep well for up to three months.  When you’re ready to enjoy it, just thaw it at room temperature in its plastic bag.

 

SLICE IT!

A round loaf bakes better, so it tastes better and stays fresher longer.  It’s easy to slice using our ‘patented’ method: to get the highest yield from each loaf take a good serrated knife, and gently ‘saw’ the bread in a herringbone pattern.  Slice it thick or thin, depending upon your mood!
 

Give IT!

Bread makes a wonderful gift – one size fits all!  Brighten someone’s day with the hearty taste of Great Harvest breads!
