How to Keep Sourdough Fresh

How to Keep Sourdough Fresh

Sourdough is different to standard bread. Its crust, texture, and natural fermentation mean it needs the right kind of storage to stay at its best.

Discover the details:

Keep the crust crisp

Sourdough should never be stored in sealed plastic.

It traps moisture and softens the crust.

Use breathable fabric

A linen or cotton bread bag allows your loaf to breathe while protecting it from drying out.

Best options:

Store cut-side down

Place your loaf cut-side down inside the bag or on a board.

This helps retain moisture in the centre while protecting the crust.

Refresh when needed

If your sourdough begins to lose its crust, a few minutes in the oven will bring it back to life.

Why this works

Sourdough needs balance—not too much air, not too much moisture.

Breathable fabric creates the perfect environment.
