Organic Country Bread (sandwich)

Is the domaselo bread vegan (and vegetarian)?
Yes, all loaves are vegan (and vegeterian).  We make our bread only with flour, water, and salt (and the added ingredients for olive bread, walnut bread, etc...).

Can we slice the bread?
Yes we can. Just select this option when adding a loaf to your order. 

Is the domaselo bread "sourdough"?
Yes, all of our loaves are naturally leavened aka "sourdough". However, it doesn't mean that the bread is sour.  We actually believe that bread should not be sour and that's why we don't like to call it "sourdough". It is heavily misused word and has resulted in bakers adding chemicals to make the bread taste sour.  

What it should mean is that the rising agent was a sourdough (aka mother dough) instead of commercial yeast, and that's why we prefer to call it naturally leavened bread.

Short-term loaf storage:
It is best to store bread in a paper bag (if not sliced), or by using beeswax wraps (www.beeswrap.com). If you’ve sliced your bread then it is better to wrap it in plastic so it doesn’t dry out.  Most importantly, never put bread in the refrigerator!

Long-term loaf storage:
If you don’t think you’ll finish your loaf within 3-4 days of baking, it is advisable to freeze it and then reheat it when you’d like. To freeze it, simply put the loaf in 2 plastic bags and freeze it.  It is also advisable to cut it into smaller pieces if you think you’ll be needing smaller portions of bread.

When you’re ready to eat the bread, follow these steps to defrost and reheat:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

• Take out the bread from the freezer

• Remove the plastic bags

• Defrost on the counter for 30 minutes

• Heat a piece of the whole loaf in the oven for 15 minutes

• Take out the loaf and let it rest for a few minutes to cool down

• Enjoy amazing flavor and aroma of fresh-baked bread (again)!
  

How to revive dry and/or hard bread: 
Our loaves are high moisture loaves which means that they can be brought back to life even if it looks like they’re gone. Follow these simple steps and you’ll love the results:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• Brush the loaf with a bit of water to get it moist, not soggy
• Heat a piece of the whole loaf in the oven for 15 minutes
• Take out the loaf and let it rest for a few minutes to cool down
• Enjoy amazing flavor and aroma of fresh-baked bread (again)!

Slicing tips:
For best results, please use a quality serrated bread knife. Let the saw motion do most of the work. Back and forth without too much downward pressure.

We recommend you slice as you go. It keeps the loaf solid, which protects it from drying. If you get on a roll and slice the whole loaf - or more than your guests eat - store slices in a plastic bag.

Did you get the bread shipped via mail?
Your domaselo bread may feel hard upon arrival, and that’s normal. We will show you how easy it is to get the bread to its fresh baked status with crispy crust and soft and moist crumb. Follow these steps:

• Take the bread out of the bag. Frozen? Follow the instructions for frozen bread.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
• Heat a piece of the whole loaf in the oven for 15 minutes
• Take out the loaf and let it rest for a few minutes to cool down
• Enjoy amazing flavor and aroma of fresh baked-bread!

Why we love to eat our own bread:
Great bread is simple and flavorful. It is made from flour, water, and salt.  Bread that has a flavor that brings back memories and feelings that we can’t even remember (likely because the taste of bread is very deep in our DNA)! We love going on that journey with every bite we take.

Why is our crust thicker and darker:
Real (naturally leavened) bread goes through a longer fermentation process in order to develop properly. This process along with the baking method allows for a thicker and darker crust. When the dough ferments longer it makes the bread much easier to digest, and it helps create this tasty crust. To prevent the crust from becoming too hard to eat, please wrap your bread well so that it doesn’t get too dry. And if it does get dry, please follow the instruction on reviving dry bread included in this booklet.

About us!
We started baking bread after seeing the positive impact the aroma of freshly baked bread can have on us. When we feel the warmth of the loaf and sense the aroma of freshly baked bread, we start feeling comfort, love, and excitement.  At that moment we are happy to sit down together and share a loaf in the most basic ways. It brings everyone in the house together like no other food. It wakes up feelings that are so deep in us that make us feel humble and thankful.  

We strive to deliver these kinds of friends and family moments every time, and it is the purpose behind everything we do.  We believe that it is extremely important for us to eat in a home environment with the people we love and we hope to enhance that experience.
