3. Why can't I order Bodhi's
breads less than 2 days before pickup/delivery to the
shop?
Most of our breads are made with Sourdough, which
requires 2 days to make. We need to know the quantities
of bread required to enable us to make the correct
quantity of Sourdough's.

4. Why do Bodhi's breads
vary in colour & size from bake to bake?
Variation in colour & size is typical of hand crafted
breads, and can be due to a number of factors, such as
differing batches of flour, seasonal variations in
temperature, & differences in proving & baking times.

5. Are Bodhi's breads
preservative free?
Yes, but with the exception of Calcium Propionate, which
is used in some of our lines over the summer period.
Calcium Propionate lowers the Ph of a loaf in the same
way as Sourdough does and as such acts as a mould
inhibitor. All of our loaves (3 or 4 lines out of a
total of around 50) that contain this inhibitor has this
ingredient listed on the label. During the winter months
we take the Calcium Propionate out.

8. Can I get Bodhi's breads
outside of the Perth Metro area?
Sure. Our breads are transported far & wide within
Western Australia. Please refer to our regional location
finder for stores who stock our breads. Some lines are
available by direct mail to all states of Australia.
These loaves are vacuum packed to preserve freshness.

9. How should Bodhi's bread be
stored?
Being a natural product, our breads should be kept in
your fridge. For your convenience, we have stamped a
"use by" date on each loaf of 2 days. This date refers
to the shelf life of the product. Once opened place in a
plastic bag or container and use within 7 days if
refrigerated or 2 months if frozen. Think of our breads
as a perishable product, like milk. Just keep an eye out
for mould developing - any remaining slices should be
thrown out (or better still, composted!) once mould
appears.

10. Why do Bodhi's breads
eventually develop mould?
Because it's natural for it to do so!! Other bakeries
can chemically treat their bread so that mould
development is reduced. We prefer to make bread the old
fashioned way, which means that it will mould quicker at
normal room temperature. You can greatly extend the life
of our bread by refrigerating or freezing.

11. Do Bodhi's breads freeze well?
Yes. We have received good reports of frozen bread up to
six months old. Hints for freezing: Keep the bag well
sealed & free of air. Try to avoid refreezing partially
thawed slices (they'll freeze together & be difficult to
separate next time). If purchasing unsliced bread, slice
it prior to freezing.
