How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness, store any leftover bread in a cool, dry place, ideally in a bread box or a paper bag. If you plan to keep it for longer than a few days, consider slicing it and freezing the portions you won't use immediately. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
