What’s the general consensus on storing bread? In a bread box? In the fridge? In a drawer? Room temp? Looking for ways to increase the number of days a bread can last for both store bought and homemade bread 🍞

    Do you always slice the bread before you freeze a bread? I usually freeze the whole or half the bread. Just wondering if there is another reason for freezing it that way other than being able to take out the exact amount of slices you want.

      How do you thaw/use a half loaf? I think a frozen slice toasts very well, which is why do that.

      Slice and freeze helps reduce moisture, and makes it less gummy.

      If you freeze the slices on a sheet first, then bag it, they seem to dry out a little more, reducing the gumminess (and freezer burn).
