Your bread will be at it's peak flavor for a few hours after it has cooled; after that may we offer some tips for restoring the "just baked" taste. Please follow these steps:

If you have just purchased your bread, but will not be eating it for a day or so, place it in a plastic bag and freeze it. Before eating thaw in a plastic bag. Once thawed, place your unbagged bread in a 375 degree oven for 5-10 minutes until it begins to get firm.

You may also try misting your bread with a spray bottle of water just before putting in the oven. Massaging the loaf with moist hands also works if a spray bottle is not handy. This helps prevent your crust from crumbling later when you cut it.
