Ever heard of putting a stalk of celery in your sourdough bread box or bag? 🥖
It might sound a little unusual, but it’s an old baker’s trick I swear by! Celery naturally holds moisture, and when stored alongside your sourdough, it helps keep your loaf soft, fresh, and perfectly moist. Sometimes for up to TWO WEEKS.
Instead of your bread drying out too quickly, the celery acts like a gentle humidity booster without making your crust soggy. Just tuck a clean stalk into your bread bag or box and let it do its thing!
And let’s be honest… celery gets a bad reputation, but not here. Around sourdough, it’s not a useless vegetable… it’s your bread’s best friend. ✨
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
