On Using Bread

Fresh bread is a delight to eat completely on its own, or perhaps with some olive oil or salted French butter.

I don’t recommend using a traditional toaster.
In my opinion, it dries the bread and makes the crust too hard. My go-to is drizzling some olive oil in a pan and frying the bread to a deep golden brown (if your bread is a little stale, cover with a lid while frying—this trick will bring it right back to life). I usually only toast one side, then top with fresh avocado, your favorite jam, or even just a little flaky salt.

Bread which is more than 2 or 3 days old makes EXCELLENT French toast and superb grilled cheese.

Cube pieces of bread, pan fry and serve in a salad or as a topping for your favorite soup.

Bread has countless options, but if your home is anything like mine, it typically doesn’t last more than a day or two.

You always have the option of freezing your bread as well. I think it’s best to slice your bread before you freeze it. Make sure to try to get as much air out as possible, and you may need to double bag it if you don’t use freezer specific bags.
