Notes

  • When freezing bread, freeze it in portions that you will use it in. So, if you live alone, freeze sliced bread in 2-4 slices at a time.
  • Save your freezing bags. Bread doesn’t make the bags dirty and it is easy to wipe them out and reuse them! (great for the environment and easy to store).
  • If you have just a few slices to thaw, they can be put directly into the toaster and heated as usual.
