Bread Questions

What does naturally leavened mean?

Naturally leavened bread rises with a fermented starter rather than commercial yeast alone. Slow fermentation helps shape its flavor, aroma, and texture. Each bakery’s recipe and process can differ.

How should I store a loaf?

Keep bread cut-side down or in a paper bag at room temperature to help protect its crust. Avoid refrigerating it, which can make bread stale more quickly. Freeze extra portions for longer storage.

Can I freeze naturally leavened bread?

Yes. Slice the loaf first if you prefer to take out only what you need. Wrap it well and freeze, then thaw at room temperature or warm slices directly before serving.

How can I find out what bread is available?

Availability may vary with the bakery’s baking schedule. Contact Stone & Starter to ask which loaves or other offerings are currently available and how to plan an order.

Can I order bread for a gathering?

Ask Stone & Starter about options for your gathering, including the quantity you have in mind and when you need it. The bakery can share current offerings and ordering details.
