- Toast
- Breadcrumbs
- French toast
This bread can be enjoyed straight from the bag, sliced for sandwiches, or toasted. It makes excellent French toast when dipped in an egg and milk mixture and then fried. For breadcrumbs, let the bread dry out slightly, then process it in a food processor or grate it finely. It can also be cubed and toasted for croutons. The soft texture makes it easy to tear for stuffing or toasting over a campfire.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, reseal the bag tightly after each use. Store it at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to become stale more quickly. For longer storage, you can freeze the loaf or slices.
