Bread Storage for Homemade Bread

All three YARRAMATE bread storage options are reusable and suitable for cooled sourdough bread. Choose a bread bag for long or oblong loaves, or the round bread box for round sourdough loaves. The L-shaped zipper bag opens wider than the standard bag, making the inside easier to reach when washing.

Compare the three sourdough bread storage options
  • Standard zippered bread bags, 2 pack: better suited to long and oblong sourdough loaves. Each bag measures 17 × 13 in (43 × 33 cm).
  • L-shaped zipper bread bags, 2 pack: also better suited to long and oblong sourdough loaves. Each bag measures 17 × 13 in (43 × 33 cm). Compared with the standard bag, the zipper opens along two sides, making the bag easier to open for loading, unloading and cleaning the inside.
  • Round beeswax bread box: better suited to round sourdough loaves, including boules. This reusable, soft-sided bread storage bin has a zippered lid, is approximately 11.8 in (30 cm) high and fits a cooled loaf up to about 9 in (23 cm) in diameter.

Compare your loaf with the listed dimensions and leave room to close the zipper without compressing the bread. Let sourdough cool before storage. Hand wash the bags in cold water with mild soap and air dry completely; open the L-shaped zipper to make the inside easier to reach.
