Moshe's Bread

Long-fermented, multi-grain, multi-seed, parve, pas Yisroel. Challah is taken. No sugar or nuts, only non-dairy ingredients and equipment, low sodium. No preservatives. No artificial colors or flavors.

Please be informed that Moshe's Bread offered on this page is baked in our (Shomer Shabbos kosher) home kitchen which does not have official kosher certification. Please, do not order here unless you know directly (or through other customers) and trust the baker. For your information, our oven was never used for fleisch or milch cooking. The same bread, when it is baked in the industrial kosher (KVH- supervised) facilities is announced and sold separately. Contact us at: LechemLabOrders@gmail.com, or 781-354-2315 (voice ). A flat delivery fee of $1.23 is added to each order. It covers the delivery to your address or to a convenient pickup point, whichever is applicable (see the next section for details).

Preserving and revitalizing your bread

Sourdough is famous for its self-preserving qualities. Our preservative-free bread will stay fresh in a plastic or paper bag for up to two-three days. To store it for longer, wrap whole loaves airtight and place in the freezer*.
To thaw frozen bread,

(1) unwrap, and then keep in a paper bag in a warm place for about 1 hour (to speed up, you can also keep in an oven at 150-180 F).

(2) spray well with water on all sides**, and place on a baking sheet in preheated 350-400 F oven. Use low convection if available. Take it out in about 10-20 min (the right timing depends on your oven, and the amount of bread, and must be chosen experimentally). The best criteria that the bread is ready is when the crust is crisp and the delicious aroma reminds you that life is beautiful.

(3) Let it cool down for at least 30 min before eating.

(4) On Shabbat, when using an oven is prohibited, keep the frozen bread in a warm location for 4-5 hours before serving.

Although our bread practically never becomes stale, you can use steps (2)-(3) if you want to refresh it (even if it is not frozen!).
