    We have found that the best way to store bread to maintain the nice texture and consistency is to leave it on a wooden board with the sliced side downwards. The crust seems to protect the inner part well without turning the bread too moist.

    Seems counterintuitive, but just leaving it like that on the counter lets the bread stay nice for more than a week.

      Yep, its the whole point of a crust right? Like when they baked covered pies to keep the filling fresh…when refrigeration wasn’t so readily available

        Is it the point of the crust though? A crust always forms when baking goods. It’s just a happy coincidence that it helps keep it fresh.
