That is when I like the crust, crumb, and fermented flavor best.
The original sourdough loaf Albuquerque craves.
I bake this original sourdough loaf in small batches in Albuquerque. Find it at El Paisano throughout the week while supplies last, or preorder by Wednesday for Saturday pickup at the Eat Well ABQ Bread Cart.
This is the loaf I build the week around.
This is the original sourdough I bake to show what real fermentation can do: a simple loaf, deep flavor, and a crust worth slowing down for.
Enjoy it fresh, then freeze the slices you will not get to in time. I would rather help you save good bread than watch it sit on the counter.

How long will this loaf stay good?
I bake this loaf without added preservatives, so my advice is to enjoy it fresh rather than expect it to stay soft forever. Plan on 2–3 days of best quality, then freeze the slices you will not finish.
Slice what you will not eat, wrap it well, and freeze it while the loaf still tastes fresh.
It may still make excellent toast, but it will not eat like a fresh loaf. Mold or an off smell means discard it.
My move: slice first, freeze what you need, and keep the good bread from becoming counter decor.
This is my best-quality guide, not a universal expiration date. If you see mold or notice an off smell, discard the loaf—do not taste-test questionable bread.
