So every time we get bread it comes in a stretchy bag. However, once we pull it out of the freezer later the bag is noticeably more crinkly and brittle. Anyone know why this is? I can’t seem to find an answer to this phenomenon anywhere.

    Bread baker here. I always freeze loaves that I bake but will not be able to consume before they’d go bad sitting on the counter. After removal from the freezer and defrosting just by sitting out on the counter, I find no difference between the frozen loaves and not frozen. It’s a great way to preserve bread for future consumption if you’re making multiple loaves at once.

      hello, bread baker, your profession is one of the best in the world <3 please give me some advice on how to defrost bread faster than just letting it sit on the counter. my wife takes the bread out of the freezer, waits a bit, separates a piece from the frosted pre-sliced loaf, puts a piece on a pancake pan, warms, and sliiightly chars the sides, but randomly, or if the piece is eaten too slowly, it gets mushy. thank you.
