To best enjoy this sourdough boule, you can slice it and toast it for breakfast or a snack. It makes an excellent base for sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings. For a heartier meal, serve thick slices alongside soups or stews. It can also be cubed and used in savory bread puddings or croutons. If you have leftover bread, it can be refreshed by lightly toasting or warming it in the oven.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to commercial white bread, this sourdough has a more complex flavor profile due to the fermentation process. Its crust is often thicker and chewier, and the crumb is less uniform. The tanginess is a key characteristic that sets it apart from breads made with commercial yeast alone.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining bread in a bread box or a paper bag at room temperature to maintain its texture. Avoid plastic bags, which can make the crust soft. For longer storage, you can slice the bread and freeze it, then thaw or toast slices directly from frozen.
