Oven to porch cooler
Cooled 45 mins before packaging so steam preserves texture and crispness.
What to bring
- Your request reference, from the request receipt.
- A sturdy tote or basket with a flat bottom, so your baked goods stay intact.
- A waterproof tote on rainy mornings.
Handling and storage
- Store breads cut-side down on a board or in a linen bag for the first 48 hours.
- Keep cookies and soft pastries in airtight containers once cooled.
- Avoid plastic bags for crusty breads, which soften the crust.
- Freeze extras the day you collect them, then reheat or toast from frozen.
