If you have a bread basket or bag, that works too. These loaves can hang tight at room temperature on the counter for days without needing to be refrigerated.<\/p>\n<h3>How long do gingerbread loaves last?<\/h3>\n<p>Freshly baked loaves will last up to three on the counter and up to a week in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze gingerbread loaves?<\/h3>\n<p>You bet! Just be sure to wrap the individual loaves in plastic wrap or tin foil before placing them in airtight containers. The double-wrap method prevents air from sneaking inside. They should last about three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h2>Gingerbread Loaf Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gingerbread-Loaf_TOHD24_278433_EricKleinberg_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Gingerbread Loaf photo of the finished recipe.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why is my gingerbread dough dry?<\/h3>\n<p>If your dough feels a little dry, it could be from too much flour or not enough molasses. Add a little more milk or water, then give it another knead and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does my gingerbread loaf sink in the middle?<\/h3>\n<p>You might have estimated the baking powder or soda instead of measuring them to the T. It&#8217;s crucial to use exact measurements when baking bread so you don&#8217;t end up with sunken loaves.<\/p>\n<h3>What goes with gingerbread loaves?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cream-cheese-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cream-cheese-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Cream cheese frosting<\/a> would be so good slathered on top, or served on the side. We also love gingerbread with whipped cream, candied or poached fruit and traditional afternoon tea accompaniments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make your home smell delicious with our gingerbread loaf recipe.
