How it differs from similar foods

This gives it a distinct sour flavor and a denser, chewier crumb compared to commercially yeasted breads. The crust is often more robust and develops a satisfying crackle when fresh.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging or an airtight bread bag at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make the bread stale more quickly. If you will not consume the entire loaf within a few days, consider freezing slices for later use.
