HOW TO: Freeze & Store Bread (July 2020)

Sourdough bread like most bread freezes extremely well and when done properly means we can enjoy our sourdough even when we are too busy to bake. It is also a fantastic way to avoid waste.

Until recently I wouldn’t consider freezing my sourdough bread. I liked the idea that we had an abundance of freshly baked bread at home. But the reality was a little different, sometimes I was too busy to bake, but what worried me more was the amount of waste.

I store my hotdog buns in the freezer maybe over 3 months ago and thawed it in the microwave. As long as I don't see mold, I'm eatin it🤤

Thank you. I’m new at freezing bread and learning the process. I also plan to learn how to bake my own bread

I only freeze sliced whole meal seeded packaged bread. I separate/space the slices in the bag, freeze, and then when I want a slice, I can easily separate each frozen slice and STEAM the slice, to bring it back to just baked fresh.

I still haven't found a video that shows how to defrost sliced load bread to use for sandwiches.

Been eating to much frozen bread there George! Don't care what you do, you can still tell the difference!

This is so amazing! Thank you for your work

Thank you. I love to make my own bread. Problem is I'm disabled and have to wait for a good day. This makes life easier. I'll just make more and put what i don't need in the freezer for a later date. I've got a 6qt bowl lift KitchenAid. I can handle bigger batches. Ive got bread bags. Do you recommend wrapping the loaf in cling wrap and then placing in the bread bag to prevent ice crystals? I use slightly stale bread to make toast or even french toast. Can even turn into croutons. New subscriber. Thanks

I was hoping for some more tips how to package 📦 the bread before I put in freezer and how your methods show ways it stays moist.
I see the cling wrap, and a thicker bag. Is that your method??
