We’ve long loved using our beeswax bread bags for storing fresh sourdough on the counter, but the freezer has always been the frustrating gap in the system. Most freezer storage options are disposable, wasteful, and frankly not designed for real artisan bread. And standard gallon zip bags? They barely fit a boule without smashing the crust, fighting the zipper closed, or splitting the seams entirely.
That disconnect never sat right with us. Slow crafted sourdough deserves a better solution than disposable plastic that wasn’t even made to fit it properly.
So we designed The Crust Keeper.
Made specifically for full sized artisan boules and loaves, these extra capacity reusable freezer bags finally solve the problem beautifully. No crushing the loaf. No awkward squeezing. No pile of single use plastic headed for the trash after one use. Just a durable, reusable solution designed intentionally for the way real sourdough bakers actually bake and store bread.
Crafted from thick, food safe, and Eco friendly EVA, they feature a clean, frosted finish that looks right at home on a rustic butcher block while keeping your crumb perfectly soft for days.
Why It Belongs In Your Home
⭐️ The Boule Fit: No crushing, no wedging, and no stretching. Finally, a reusable bag designed for the actual footprint of a round, artisan loaf.
⭐️ Built to Re use: Thick, supple, and highly resilient, engineered to replace thousands of single use plastics over its lifetime on your homestead.
⭐️ Integrated Fresh Seal: Features a heavy duty, airtight double track that locks out moisture and freezer burn without the need for clips or extra parts.
⭐️ Dishwasher Safe: Clean up shouldn't be a chore. Thoughtfully designed to stand open and upside down on the rack of your dishwasher for a seamless, easy wash.

Love these bags! Love they are reusable and keeping the crust great❣️
I really liked the bags. No freezer burn
Great bags, it’s just hard to get all the air out of them. I do like the thickness… I will have to see long term
Perfect size and seem to be good quality so far!! Great value
The crust keeper reusable freezer bag works great for my sourdough bread. My round loaf fit well with room to spare for when I bake larger loaves or use it for something else. I have always reused store bought bags, but they only last about 3 times, and once I use them for meat they are thrown out. One thing that I would like to see added if possible is a place to put the date of whatever it is that I am freezing. I could use tape, but it would be nice to have something that could be washed off for the next use.
Great product for freezing our homemade bread! We use beeswax bags for the bread we plan to eat in a couple days, but when we have many loaves this is great!
Perfect bags. It’s just me and my husband so I slice about a third of a loaf and store in the freezer and then leave the rest out for sandwiches. when I want a quick piece of toast I can just grab it out of the freezer. easy peasy. I’d like the other size when it comes back in stock.
Absolutely love them. They do indeed hold a full loaf of bread. I also love the fact that AI gives them an 8.5/10 for clean and healthy. What a great price! I will continue to buy!
Seem very sturdy.
Love these. Nice thick material and good closure. Great for freezing sourdough loaves and a million other things.
Love the Crust Keeper. Highly recommend
From opening the package to inspecting the reusable bread bags, I was extremely very impressed at the quality. There’s value there in exchange for your money!
The bags are awesome!!! Love the thank you card. What a special addition.
The bags are very nice, well constructed with quality materials. They will hold my sourdough boules perfectly but my sourdough loaves will not fit in them, unfortunately. Not a big deal, I just know that if I want to freeze bread to make boules or slice the loaves in the future. Still highly recommend!
Perfect bags for freezing a loaf. Happy to not be wasting more ziplock bags . These are a winner for sure!
Love these bags! Boules fit nicely in them. They close easily and completely and keep the bread in perfect condition.
These bags are the perfect size for dutch oven loaves. They are thick enough to hold up to crusty breads and keep the bread nicely. Excellent product!
These bags are awesome! So glad I found your website. I have a loaf in one in the freezer now.
Haven't used them yet but they are very nice.
These bags are the best I have found for storing homemade freshly milled flour bread loaves. I’m going to order the loaf size now. I am so glad I found your products.
A quality product. Perfect for keeping my sourdough bread fresh in the freezer.
Bought for the second time! Love these bags. My sourdough keeps fresher much longer!!!! No more throwing out the last bits.
Very pleased! Would like an even bigger set for the large artisan loaves!
Keeps my baked goods perfectly frozen
I am so happy I found you! I am very happy with my purchase and plan to order another set. I am starting a cottage baking business and these are a perfect way to freeze and store with.
Love these freezer bags!
We're a two person household, so I freeze a lot of sourdough bread and these freezer bags are the best!
I ordered the crust keeper because it makes sense. I love to bake in batches and save for later, especially in the winter. I used regular freezer bags and still got the frost, so I tried the crust keeper, and it does not do that. It is prefect. I started with 1 order of 3 and came back for 2 more orders of 3. I will eventually get more when winter closes in.
Right now, I use it for my sourdough bread loaves, and I have 4 loaves of Zucchini bread and 3 loaves of banana bread.
NO more frost for me. Thank you!
Bread stays fresh when stored in fridge. Very pleased.
These crust keepers are extra thick and love that they are reusable! Great product!
