How to Bake Sourdough Baguettes
01Oven Preheating: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 200°C (392°F). Ensure the oven reaches full baking temperature before introducing the bread.
02Direct Freezer-to-Oven Transfer: Place the frozen sourdough baguettes directly on a baking sheet or on the center oven rack. Do not thaw before baking.
03Bake: Bake for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Actual baking times may vary depending on the oven.
04Avoid Microwaving: Microwaving is not recommended for baking or thawing, as it may soften the crust and affect the bread's texture.
05Cooling & Setting: Let the freshly baked baguette rest on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Resting the loaf before cutting helps the crumb firm up for smoother, cleaner slices.
*Prepared using traditional sourdough fermentation and designed to be baked directly from frozen.

Storage
Follow proper storage practices to help preserve the baguette's texture and baking quality.
01Frozen Storage: Store frozen at −18°C (0°F) or below until ready to bake. Keep the baguettes in their original packaging to help protect against freezer odors and moisture loss.
02After Baking: For the best crust and crumb texture, enjoy freshly baked baguettes on the day of baking. If storing leftovers, keep them loosely wrapped in a breathable bag to help maintain the crust.
03Cold Chain Handling: Delivered through a temperature-controlled cold chain to help maintain frozen conditions during transit.
Shelf Life
Follow these guidelines to maintain product quality throughout storage and after baking.
01Best Quality Period: When stored continuously at −18°C (0°F) or below, the baguettes maintain their best quality until the best-before date indicated on the packaging.
02Refreezing Guidance: Do not refreeze fully thawed baguettes, as refreezing may affect texture and baking performance.
03Post-Bake Storage: For the best crust and texture, consume freshly baked baguettes on the day of baking. Store any leftovers in a paper bag or breathable wrap at room temperature. Avoid plastic wrapping, which may soften the crust.
