Here's one way: freeze it as soon as it cools. Wrap it in silvery plastic, put
it in a big box surrounded by styrofoam cruntleys, and send it by fast pkg.
mail. The big box could have a silvery liner.

It probably won't be frozen when it gets there, and maybe the warm-up
period in the box will cause some staling. But I've been told loaves
I packed so arrived seeming to have been very recently baked.

Some people feel that SD bread should be slightly stale. Save yourself
some trouble/expense by asking the recipient about that preference.
