The Right (and Wrong) Ways to Store Sourdough

Sourdough is different from commercial bread. Its open crumb, thick crust, and natural fermentation mean it needs a specific storage environment to stay at its best.

01

The Fridge

Cold temperatures cause starch retrogradation — the process that makes bread go stale. Sourdough in the fridge goes dry and loses its characteristic chew within 24 hours.

✗ Avoid
02

Plastic Bag

Traps moisture against the crust, turning your beautiful crisp exterior into a soft, damp shell. Mould follows within 2–3 days. The worst option for sourdough.

✗ Avoid
03

Paper Bag

Better than plastic, but paper wicks away too much moisture too quickly. Your sourdough crumb will dry out within 24 hours, and the crust becomes rock hard.

~ Acceptable (short-term)
04

Cut-Side Down on a Board

A classic baker's trick that works for a few hours — the cut face seals against the board. But it doesn't protect the crust from ambient humidity and won't last overnight.

~ Short-term only
05

Day Seven Beeswax Bag

The breathable cotton and real beeswax lining create the perfect microclimate — enough airflow to keep the crust crisp, enough moisture retention to keep the crumb soft. Up to 7 days of freshness.

✓ Best Method
06

Freezer

The best option for long-term storage (2–3 months). Slice before freezing and toast directly from frozen. But for day-to-day freshness, the Day Seven bag is superior.

Built for Artisan Loaves

Big Enough for Your Biggest Sourdough

At 13" × 17", the Day Seven bag is designed specifically for large, bakery-sized loaves. No more cramming your boule into a bag that's too small, or leaving half the loaf exposed.

  • Fits large sourdough boules and batards
  • Holds Dutch oven loaves without squishing
  • Fits two smaller loaves at once
  • Folds flat for easy storage when not in use
  • Sturdy closure keeps the bag sealed
The Science of Freshness

Why Beeswax is the Best Material for Sourdough Storage

Beeswax has been used to preserve food for thousands of years. Its unique molecular structure creates a semi-permeable barrier — allowing just enough airflow to prevent moisture build-up, while retaining enough humidity to stop the crumb from drying out.

Unlike polyester blends or synthetic wax alternatives, Day Seven uses 100% real natural beeswax on a 100% cotton base. No plastics, no synthetics, no compromise.

  • Naturally antibacterial — resists mould growth
  • Regulates internal humidity like a natural breathable membrane
  • 100% cotton outer layer allows gentle airflow
  • No synthetic coatings or plastic blends

Your Questions, Answered

What's the best way to store sourdough bread?
The best method is a breathable, natural storage bag at room temperature. Sourdough's natural fermentation gives it more staying power than commercial bread, but it still needs the right environment. The Day Seven beeswax bag provides the ideal balance of airflow and moisture retention — keeping the crust crisp and the crumb soft for up to 7 days.
Should I store sourdough in the fridge?
No. The fridge is one of the worst places for sourdough. Cold temperatures cause starch retrogradation, which makes the crumb go stale and the texture rubbery. Store sourdough at room temperature in a breathable bag for best results.
How do I keep sourdough crust crispy?
The key is airflow. Plastic traps moisture and softens the crust. Paper dries it out too aggressively. The Day Seven bag's cotton and beeswax construction allows just enough airflow to maintain crust texture while keeping the crumb from drying out.
Will my large sourdough boule fit?
Yes — the bag measures 13" × 17", which fits large sourdough boules, batards, and Dutch oven loaves. It also holds two smaller loaves at once. No squishing required.
