How to Enjoy & Our Pro Tips
While it's perfect for toast, its versatility is its greatest strength.
As Is: The bread is so soft and rich, you can enjoy it straight from the package. It's delicious with a simple spread of butter or jam.
Toasted: A light toast brings out the buttery flavor and gives the crust a perfect, delicate crunch while keeping the inside soft.
Ultimate French Toast: This is the secret to making the best French toast you've ever had. The bread's rich, buttery flavor and soft texture make it soak up the egg mixture beautifully, creating a custard-like interior.
Storage & What to Do with Leftovers
Given its generous size, freezing is the best way to keep it fresh.
1. Slice & Wrap: As soon as you get home, slice the bread into your desired thickness.
2. Airtight Storage: Tightly wrap each slice in plastic wrap, then place the slices in a freezer bag.
3. Freeze: Store in the freezer. When you want a slice, just pop it directly into the toaster. It will taste as fresh as the day you bought it!
