The Sustainability Special: up to 50% OFF Frozen Sourdough Special

At Risen Loaves, we believe that good food is too precious to waste. One of our founding principles is to find sustainable ways to share our artisan bakes while reducing food waste in our community. Our Frozen Sourdough Special is a key part of this mission—allowing us to offer our high-quality bread at a lower price point while ensuring that every loaf finds a home.

Artisan Quality, Locked in Cold

Many people are surprised to learn that sourdough freezes incredibly well. Because of its natural acidity and fermented structure, it locks in moisture and flavor perfectly when frozen at its peak. When reheated, it retains the exact same quality, crackly crust, and soft interior as a fresh-baked loaf. When you thaw and refresh these loaves, you get the same premium experience while helping us stay true to our values.

How it works:

This is a Baker’s Choice item. To keep things simple and offer you the best value, we select a high-quality loaf from our current frozen inventory for you. It’s a great way to try different flavors from our menu at a discounted price!

Why You’ll Love It:

Same Great Quality: We freeze our loaves within 24 hours of baking to lock in the perfect crumb and crust.
Ready When You Are: Keep these loaves as your “bread backup” for easy family dinners or unexpected guests. Perfect for busy families.
Save Money: By choosing from our Freezer Stock, you receive them at up to 50% off the original price. It is the best way to enjoy premium artisan bread while staying on a budget.

How to Refresh & Enjoy Your Sourdough

Since our bread is made with only natural ingredients and no preservatives, how you handle it after freezing makes difference. Follow these tips to bring that “fresh-from-the-oven” magic back to life.

Step 1: Thawing Your Loaf

You have two easy ways to thaw your bread depending on when you need it:

On the Counter (Best for same-day or next-day use): Take the loaf out of the freezer and let it sit on your counter in its packaging. If you leave it out overnight, it will be perfectly thawed and ready to be consumed or refreshed the next morning.
In the Fridge: If you aren’t ready to eat it yet, move the loaf from the freezer to the fridge. It will thaw slowly and stay fresh until you are ready to reheat it.

Step 2: The “Magic” Refresh (For the Best Crust)

To get that signature crackly crust and soft, steamy interior, use this baker’s secret:

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
The Water Trick: Quickly pass the entire thawed loaf under cold running water. Don’t soak it, just get the crust wet.
The Bake: Place the wet loaf directly on the oven rack and bake for 20 minutes.

Why this works: The water turns to steam in the oven, re-hydrating the crust and making it incredibly crisp while the inside stays tender.

Step 3: Quick Serving (Pan Toasting)

If you don’t want to reheat the whole loaf, you can slice it directly after it has thawed:

Pan Sear: Heat a pan with a little butter or olive oil. Toast the slices until golden brown. This creates a delicious, caramelized crunch that is perfect for breakfast or sandwiches.
Standard Toaster: Simply slice and toast as you normally would!
