Southeast Sourdough is a small-batch, community-rooted sourdough bread program operating from a shared community kitchen in Ward 8, Washington, D.C. Under our parent company Culture To Go, we focus on increasing food access, preserving cultural food traditions, and creating local economic opportunity through thoughtfully made, naturally fermented foods.

Why Sourdough Matters

Our breads are naturally fermented using wild yeast and bacteria, resulting in:

  • Improved digestibility

  • Lower glycemic impact compared to conventional bread

  • Longer shelf life without additives

  • Deeper flavor and texture

This makes Southeast Sourdough an ideal fit for customers seeking health-forward, artisan, and culturally meaningful food.

Here are ways to store and enjoy our breads!


Storage Tips

Because our breads are free from preservatives, proper storage helps maintain quality and flavor.

For Daily Use (3–5 days):

  • Store bread in an almost airtight bag or wrapped tightly at room temperature.

  • Avoid the refrigerator—it dries bread out and shortens its life.

For Freezing:

  • Pre-slice the bread before freezing for easy use.

  • Place slices in a freezer-safe bag or container.

  • Freeze for up to 2–3 months.

  • Remove only what you need and reheat or toast directly from frozen.

Reheating & Refreshing

Our breads reheat beautifully and are easy to refresh.

Oven Method (Best for Loaves & Focaccia):

  1. Remove any plastic or wrapping.

  2. Place bread (or tin, if applicable) in a 375°F oven.

  3. Heat for 10–12 minutes until warmed through.

  4. Remove from tin if needed, slice, and enjoy.

Toaster or Skillet (Slices):

  • Toast slices lightly, or warm in a dry skillet for a crisp exterior and soft center.

Enjoy your bread on its own, dipped in olive oil, paired with your favorite cheeses, or alongside soups, pastas, and everyday meals.
