Short-Term Storage (1-2 Days):
- Use a Paper Bag: Place your loaf in a paper bag or wrap it in a cotton bread bag to allow airflow. This helps maintain a crisp crust while keeping the interior soft and moist.

-Room Temperature: Store the bread at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as they trap moisture and can make the crust soggy.

Medium-Term Storage (3-5 Days):
- Wrap Loosely: After the first couple of days, lightly wrap the bread in a clean kitchen towel or beeswax wrap to prevent it from drying out.

- Avoid the Fridge: Never refrigerate sourdough bread, as the cool temperatures will dry out the bread more quickly.

Long-Term Storage (Up to 3 Months):
- Freeze for Freshness: Slice your bread before freezing it. Place slices in an airtight, freezer-safe bag or container. This way, you can easily pull out individual slices as needed.

- To Reheat: When you're ready to enjoy your bread, thaw slices at room temperature, or for that freshly-baked flavor, pop them directly into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.

Re-Crisping the Crust:
Lightly spritz the loaf with water and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. The crust will become crunchy again, and the bread will taste like it's fresh from the oven!
