Wrap a Bread Wednesday: The Baguette

One of the best things about the Bread Blanket by Sourhouse? It wraps bread of any size, any shape—including long, elegant baguettes.

The blanket featured in today's video is from our Hurricane Helene Recovery Edition collection, featuring the design of Asheville-area artist Andréa Keys Connell. Profits from this limited-edition collection support Western North Carolina craft artists impacted by Hurricane Helene through our partner, the Center for Craft.

Unlike a bread bag that is never the right size, a simple square of fabric becomes whatever your bread needs it to be.

Perfect for Baguettes

Long loaves present a unique challenge. Traditional bread storage either crushes the crust or leaves the ends exposed. This Baguette wrap solves both problems.

The technique uses the full diagonal length of the fabric, maximizing coverage without bunching. You get complete protection from the tip to the heel, with a neat tie that keeps everything secure whether you're heading to a picnic or just moving from kitchen to table.

Beyond Storage

The Bread Blanket does more than protect your bake. Use it as a:

• Table cloth for impromptu picnics
• Ground cloth for outdoor gatherings
• Cover for rising dough
• Wrapping for gifted loaves

The natural cotton fabric breathes, which means your crust stays crisp instead of steaming itself soft like it would in plastic.

Your Turn to Share

Who's your favorite person to share your bake with? Whether it's a neighbor, a friend, or someone who needs a reminder that homemade bread makes everything better—wrapping it in a Bread Blanket turns a simple loaf into something special.
