Exactly what I do. I can actually buy a bunch of bread now because most of it stays frozen and there's only half a loaf on the counter at a time. It's kind of miraculous how well it dethaws.

This is going to sound like a real stupid question.

When you unfreeze it, does it get sad looking and taste funny?

Or am I doing something wrong?

My mom froze bread when I was growing up and it always made it soggy and crumbly. I don't know how all these people are so happy with it. When I got out on my own I found never frozen is much better. Just buy half loaves if you're worried it's going to go bad.

I wonder if the type matters. I put all my loaves in the freezer from Sam’s and just take one out and put it in the bottom cupboard the night before if I’m low/out and it looks and tastes exactly the same as the never frozen loaf I will use first after I get home from shopping. I love my dedicated upright freezer. Not as efficient as a chest freezer but it’s convenient enough that my kids and I actually use it daily instead of trying to avoid it.

You might be doing something wrong. Definitely should be in a airtight ziploc bag. It will get sort of freezer burned if not. Toasting it instead of thawing helps.

Straight into the toaster from the freezer. If you want bread, set the toaster light. If you want toast, set it dark.

Some toasters even have a switch for frozen bread to compensate.

Here in rural Canada we have always frozen bread even short term. Mostly because mice can't get into the freezer.

You're not going to enjoy dethawed bread if it formed crystals in the freezer. The only option is to toast it.

That’s what i’ve always seen as well. I don’t know what people do to make it work

It was my mom that did this, and always got store brand white bread. For the people saying it works, are you on the Wonder Bread side, or something with more substance?

I keep it in the bag on the counter and it thaws just fine
