How to Store & Reheat Your Wheat City Wheatless Goods

We want your goodies to taste just as delicious at home as they do fresh from our bakery!

​

Gluten-free baking can require a little extra TLC when it comes to storage. Follow our handy guide to keep your treats fresh, delicious and ready to enjoy whenever those cravings hit.

 

A little tip: When in doubt, freeze it! Freezing is one of the best ways to preserve the freshness and texture of your gluten-free goodies.

​

Breads & Loaves

Storing:

• Allow bread to cool completely before storing.

• Keep in an airtight bag or container at room temperature for short-term storage.

• For longer storage, slice your loaf and freeze in an airtight freezer bag.

• Avoid storing bread in the refrigerator, as this can cause it to dry out faster.

Reheating:

• Toaster: Toast individual slices until warmed and lightly crispy.

• Oven: Wrap loaf or slices in foil and warm at 300°F for approximately 10–15 minutes.

• From frozen: Pop individual slices straight into the toaster!

​

Buns & Rolls

Storing:

• Store in an airtight bag or container once completely cooled.

• Freeze any buns you won't be enjoying within the next couple of days.

Reheating:

• Oven: Wrap in foil and warm at 300°F for approximately 5–8 minutes.

• Microwave: Heat for 10–15 seconds, checking as needed.

• From frozen: Allow to thaw before reheating, or warm in the oven for a little longer.

​

Cinnamon Buns

Storing:

• Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for short-term storage.

​

Cookies

Storing:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

• Keep different cookie varieties separate to preserve their individual flavours.

• Freeze in an airtight freezer bag or container for longer storage.

Reheating:

​

Brownies & Dessert Bars

Storing:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for short-term storage.

​

Muffins & Cupcakes

Storing:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for short-term storage.

• Refrigerate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting or other perishable toppings.

• Freeze individually wrapped muffins for longer storage.

Reheating:

• Muffins: Microwave for 10–15 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for 5 minutes.

​

Donuts & Other Sweet Treats

Storing:

• Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for short-term storage.

• Freeze unglazed or unfrosted varieties where possible.

• Some toppings and fillings may require refrigeration.

Reheating:

• Oven: Warm at 300°F for approximately 3–5 minutes.

• Microwave: Heat for 5–10 seconds at a time.

​

A Few Extra Freshness Tips!

• Always allow baked goods to cool completely before sealing them in containers.

• Keep everything airtight to prevent drying out.

• Freeze individual portions so you can enjoy one treat at a time.

• When thawing frozen goods, leave them wrapped or in their sealed container until thawed to help retain moisture.

• Avoid repeatedly freezing and thawing the same product.

• Reheating times are approximate and may vary depending on your appliance and portion size.
