Hot bread must cool completely
before you bag it, or it will become soggy. Be
sure bread is cool to your wrist before placing
it in the bag (usually within two hours after
purchasing).
Place the bread in the plastic
bag and press out any extra air. Twist the top
of the bag tightly and secure with a twisty tie.
A loose tie allows air to sneak in and dry out
your bread. Leave the bag on your kitchen counter
out of the sun (and never put bread in the fridge).
