It definitely has a longer shelf life, at least 5 days, and as previously and well-advised, you can make French Toast with it.<br /><br />Some things which will extend the shelf life of bread--both Sourdough and others--is to use a piece of dough from a former batch. Also, an overnight retard in the fridge. Improves flavor, crust and crumb, shelf-life: Win-win!GinaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015434265187722595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-60818937086507088862009-06-01T18:37:32.666-05:002009-06-01T18:37:32.666-05:00Jeannette,

I think that baguettes and other doughs that are just flour, water, yeast, and salt are the worst. Breads that have eggs and butter (like challah and brioche) seem to have good staying power, and would also make good French toast for your last-morning-in-camp breakfast.<br />Anyone else have ideas for specific recipes that would stay the course and not provide squirrel fodder?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183158217378477758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-3094436031352528352009-05-18T06:33:00.000-05:002009-05-18T06:33:00.000-05:00Hello!

I am going camping in a couple of weeks for a few days and was wondering what type of bread would last the longest and still taste the freshest. I have tried and failed before at guessing what would work and wind up with stale dried out bread and rolls. I bake all kinds of bread, i just can't think of which type would be best and tastiest for my purpose. I would rather not be tossing cinnamon rolls to the squirrels again this year. <br /><br /> Any help would be appreciated,<br /> SandyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476854369313410317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21995818.post-2251552342736884852009-05-17T17:36:00.000-05:002009-05-17T17:36:00.000-05:00Marty,
