FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the verse printed on the bag?
Yes. “Give us this day our daily bread” and “Matthew 6:11” are printed on the main bag, above a hand-drawn wheat sprig and wildflowers. The second bag has a matching kitchen print in the same warm colors, and the bowl cover has a wheat design.
Is this a Catholic or a Christian design?
Both. The words come from the Lord's Prayer (the Our Father), which Christians of every tradition pray. That makes it a lovely gift for Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox friends alike.
Will a big sourdough boule fit?
Yes. At about 13" × 17", each bag fits a large round boule, a long batard or a full sandwich loaf with room to roll the top under. Two loaves from one bake? That's why every set has two bags.
I don't bake. Is it still worth it?
Yes. If you buy good bakery bread, these bags keep its crust crisp far better than the plastic bag it came in. Then slice and freeze whatever you won't eat in a few days.
How long will my bread stay fresh?
Honestly, it depends on your bread and your kitchen. Most homemade sourdough keeps a crisp crust and soft crumb for about 3–4 days in the bag. Enriched and soft breads are best within 2–3 days. Hot, humid kitchens shorten that. Follow the routine (cool completely, cut side down, then slice and freeze what you won't eat) and you'll get the most from every loaf.
Will it stop my bread going moldy?
No bag can promise that, and we won't pretend it can. Homemade bread has no preservatives. A breathable beeswax bag avoids the trapped, sweaty moisture that makes bread in plastic mold fastest. But the real fix is the routine: cool the loaf fully, eat it within a few days and freeze the rest.
How big are the bags?
Each bag is about 13" wide × 17" long, extra-large. It fits a big round boule, a long batard or a full sandwich loaf. The bowl cover is about 13" across and stretches over most mixing and proofing bowls.
What are they made of?
Natural cotton on the outside, lined with pure beeswax, organic jojoba oil and food-grade tree resin. No plastic, and food-safe. The wax may have a faint, natural honey smell when new. That fades with use.
How do I clean them?
Shake out the crumbs, then wipe or hand-wash in cool water with a little mild soap. Turn the lining out and air dry. No hot water, dishwasher, microwave or dryer, because heat melts the beeswax.
Can I put them in the freezer or fridge?
Yes. They're freezer-safe, which is the best place for bread you won't eat within a few days. We don't recommend the fridge for bread, because it goes stale faster there, but the bags themselves are fine in it.
Can I mix designs in a bundle?
Yes. Choose 2 or 3 sets and pick a design for each one. The bundle price ($64.99 for 2 sets, $84.99 for 3) applies automatically in your cart.
How fast is shipping?
