Unlike many commercially produced breads, this sourdough relies on a natural fermentation process. This results in a distinct sourness and a more complex flavor profile. The texture is often chewier and the crust is usually more robust than standard white or wheat breads.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging or an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating, as this can dry out the bread. For longer storage, you can slice the loaf and freeze it in a freezer-safe bag.
