How to store homemade bread
My favorite way for storing homemade bread is by wrapping the loaf in a bread bag and storing in a bread box. Our family goes through bread fairly quickly so this option works great for us.
If you need to store for longer term, wrap the loaf in a resealable bag or silicone storage container for a more natural option. You could also use an airtight container or wrap in aluminum foil.
Homemade bread can also be stored frozen. My favorite way to do this is to keep the bread in a loaf shape and place in a freezer bag.
Pro tip: when storing frozen bread, be sure to allow the bread to cool after baking before moving it to storage.
Tips for Making this Bread
When making this bread, I usually use whole milk. But I have also had success with using nut milks like almond and coconut.
I like to hand knead bread so I can get a feel for when it is ready. But sometimes, I’m pressed for time so I will use my stand mixer with the dough hook.
It is important to stop and check it periodically when using a stand mixer to ensure it isn’t being kneaded too much.
When baking this loaf, check on it every now and then. I recommend “babysitting” homemade bread. It isn’t something that you can just throw in the oven and call it good.
Oven times vary for most people. If the bread starts to brown on one side more than the other, rotate it.
