Our breads taste best on the day of purchase, although they will keep longer. Our bread should be kept in its original bag at room temperature. Do not refrigerate. For later use, seal the bread in a plastic freezer bag with closure and freeze. To use it, remove it from the bag, thaw it and heat it in a 425?F oven for 3-5 minutes to obtain a crisp crust. Let cool before eating.

Because La Brea Bakery breads do not contain any preservatives we recommend that they be eaten on the day of purchase. Some breads will last longer, and certainly all breads can be used for toast or a grilled sandwich the day after purchase (even though the crust is harder, the interior will remain moist). If you have bought more bread than can be eaten right away, place our bread in a plastic bag and freeze.

Par-baking ensures that customers receive the highest quality authentic La Brea Bakery bread possible. The La Brea Bakery bread that customers take home is just-out-of-the-oven fresh and reliably delicious.

The 10,000 individuals mentioned in answer 14 became trapped during about 30,000 years of time (roughly 40,000 to 10,000 years ago). On the average this represents 10 animals caught every 30 years.

Since 1906, more than one million bones have been recovered representing over 231 species of vertebrates. In addition, 159 kinds of plants and 234 kinds of invertebrates have been identified. It is estimated that the collections at the Page Museum contain about three million items.

Yes. About 8 -12 gallons (32 - 48 liters) a day ooze and bubble to the surface occasionally trapping invertebrates (insects and worms), reptiles (lizards), birds (mostly pigeons, but also hawks, egrets, ducks, doves, and sparrows), small mammals (rodents and rabbits) and occasionally large mammals (dogs and humans) especially during warm days when the asphalt is softest.

Fossil excavations were conducted between 1906 and 1915, 1929 and 1930, and have continued from 1969 to present. Between 1913 and 1915, exclusive right was granted to the Natural History Museum to excavate here, and from a series of 96 excavations an estimated 750,000 fossils were exhumed. Over 250,000 fossils have been recovered from Pit 91 since 1969. They have provided detailed information about the vegetation, small animals and climate needed to reconstruct the Ice Age environment.

Staff paleontologists and volunteers have been excavating Pit 91 since June 13, 1969. This project now continues for an eight to ten week period, usually during July and August. Visitor may observe the excavation in progress from the Visitors Station located on the south side of the excavation. Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday when the dig is operational. Admission is free.

While under the influence of the waning Ice Age, La Brea's climate was somewhat cooler and moister than today. This climate produced a vegetation similar in type to that which presently exists on California's Monterey Peninsula, located approximately 300 miles to the north. Fossils evidence also indicates shallow ponds and marshes existed at La Brea.

Yes, the Home Bakery Supreme® breadmaker (BBCC-X20) comes with a gluten-free bread recipe, and more can be found on our Recipes Page. The recipes may be adapted to other models of our bread makers. The internet is also a good source for gluten-free recipes as well as other bread recipe books.

We recommend you weigh your flour when the bread doesn’t rise properly, the loaf is too dense or the crust is too hard. Please see below for guidelines:

Those macarons in Gerard Mulot's workshop are so colorful! Thanks for always taking the time to answer these questions we all have! Much appreciated! A friend of mine just came back from Paris, she just missed your great list! I can add that the plate of "sauteed" chicken livers (not chopped) and onions with all the chopped veggies at L'As du Falafel is to die for. David..great list...I'm taking my parents to Paris for the first time this October..

Because the bread has no preservatives, it is normal for it to become slightly dry after a day or two. To prolong its freshness, store bread in a cool place covered in gladwrap or a clean tea towel.

Ensure the products are stored at minus 18 ºc and are kept sealed within the plastic bag inside the cardboard box at all times. Yes, the oven needs to be preheated and have reached a temperature of 180º for the OvenReady® range and a temperature of 240º for the minute’ bread®.

To store baked bread, cool it completely. You can leave it on the counter for hours, after you slice it and before storing, put it in a paper bag or plastic if preferred. You can store it for up to 3 days or 3 months in the freezer.

Throughout European history bread was made with pure ingredients...flour, water and salt... using the exact method we do. A baker would come to a village and bake enough bread for each family to last them through the winter. Can you imagine how the bread was stored before refrigeration was available? The baker would make 25-pound loaves and the family would store it in the rafters of their barn or outbuilding where it would freeze during the cold winter.

You can decant large packs of bread mix into a container. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to help prevent protein deterioration.

It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.
