How to Store Sourdough Bread (So It Stays Fresh Longer)

One of the most common questions we get is:

“How do I keep my sourdough fresh?”

Because unlike store-bought bread, sourdough doesn’t have preservatives—and that’s a good thing. But it does mean storage matters.

Here’s what we recommend:

For the first 24–48 hours:

• Store cut-side down on a cutting board

• Or place in a paper bag or bread box

This allows the crust to stay crisp while protecting the interior.

Avoid the refrigerator

• It actually dries bread out faster

For longer storage:

• Slice and freeze

• Reheat in the oven when ready to enjoy

Sourdough is meant to be enjoyed fresh, but with a few simple steps, you can extend its life without sacrificing quality.
