How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in a cool, dry place. It is best kept in a bread box or a paper bag, which allows for some air circulation. Avoid storing it in plastic, as this can make the crust soft and the bread stale more quickly. If you have a large amount, consider slicing it and freezing portions for later use.
