<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBread is a staple in most homes. However, it goes bad quickly. Thankfully, bread can be frozen and stored for quite a while. Keep in mind that different kinds of bread need to be prepared in different ways before being frozen, and some will last longer in the freezer than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When freezing bread that will be used for sandwiches or toast, it is best to slice the bread before freezing, as it will be more difficult to cut while frozen. You could cut it after thawing, but the texture is often slightly more crumbly after it is frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bread should only be frozen once, so do not thaw and refreeze it. Each time it is frozen, the bread loses some integrity and flavor. When the defrosting and refreezing process is repeated, the bread becomes extremely bland and stale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can safely freeze almost any kind of bread, including rolls, french, swiss, wheat, white, multigrain, chia seed, pita, rye, whole, and sourdough bread. Generally, homemade bread will freeze better than store-bought bread because the ingredients are fresher and more natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To freeze store-bought bread, you can leave the bread in its original bag, just make sure to tightly close the open end to reduce the amount of exposure to air. If the packaging is damaged in any way, transfer the loaf to a new plastic freezer bag that can be sealed closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homemade buns, rolls, or breadsticks should also be stored in a plastic bag before they are frozen. Homemade loaves of bread that may be too big to fit in a plastic bag can be wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. Use two or more layers of plastic wrap to ensure the entirety of the bread is well covered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
