How to Freeze Bread
- Choose fresh bread that is free from any damage or mold.
- If not pre-sliced, use a serrated knife to slice the bread evenly for easy thawing.
- Place parchment paper between slices if freezing individually to prevent sticking.
- Put the slices or whole loaf into a freezer bag and squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing.
- Label the bag with the date using a marker to track freshness.
- Store the bag flat in the freezer to avoid squishing the bread.
Notes
- Freeze bread for up to 3 months to maintain optimal quality.
- Thaw bread at room temperature for about 30 minutes before use.
- Toast slices directly from the freezer for best texture and flavor.
