Will this fit a large homemade sourdough boule? My loaves usually come out around 1.5–2 lbs
Yes — this generously sized bag (approx 17"× 13" / 43 × 33 cm) easily fits a 1.5–2 lb artisan boule, standard sandwich loaf or two baguettes without crushing crust. You can place whole loaves inside without forcing
-
How long does bread actually stay fresh in this? Will it get moldy
Whole loaf keeps 3–4 days at room temp. Beeswax lining breathes—no plastic-bag sogginess, slower drying than linen/paper, plus better mold resistance. Sliced bread dries faster; store whole, slice as needed. Fridge ~1 week; freezer-safe to 3 months
-
Can these be washed? Will the beeswax coating wash off
Hand-wash in cool/warm water only: wipe or rinse gently, then hang dry. Skip hot water, soap, and the dishwasher—heat softens the beeswax. Can be reused,saving hundreds of plastic bags. Air it open between loaves; airing usually suffices
-
Can I put a warm, freshly-baked loaf straight into the bag
Wait until the loaf is fully cool—2–3 hrs on a rack—before bagging. Residual heat softens the wax and makes the crust soggy. Once cool, drop it in, fold the top, fasten the buckle. This keeps crust crunchy longer; works for cooled or bakery loaves
-
Is it freezer-safe? Is the closure completely airtight
Freezer-safe: whole loaf keeps up to 3 months; the buckle stops freezer burn. Breathable, not airtight—keeps crust chewy, not gummy like zip-top. It seals fresh but lets air circulate. For long storage, double-wrap or press out air
