Getting the most from your sourdough
Reviving day-two bread, freezing, and the toast rule.
Real sourdough keeps better than industrial bread, but it still has opinions. Keep it cut-side down on a board, never in the fridge.
Day two: sprinkle lightly with water and run through a hot oven for six minutes. The crust comes back like it never left.
To freeze, slice first. Then each slice toasts straight from frozen — arguably better than fresh.
The toast rule: thick slice, proper butter while hot, flaky salt. Nothing else needed.
