If you'll be eating your bread within a day or two, store it in a paper bag to preserve taste and texture. If you'll be keeping it longer, store it in a plastic bag. Plastic keeps flavour longer, but you do lose a little crust texture. Always store bread in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator. You can freeze bread. When you're ready to eat, simply place the frozen loaf in a medium oven and re-heat for 7-8 minutes.
