Store bread at room temperature in a sealed plastic bag or bread box to maintain freshness for up to 3-5 days. Avoid refrigeration, as it can cause the bread to dry out and become stale faster. For longer storage, freeze bread in an airtight bag or container for up to 3 months. Slice the bread before freezing for easier use, and thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
