If freezing homemade bread, allow it to fully cool first.

If you are freezing a whole loaf, wrap it in plastic wrap. Then cover tightly in a second layer of foil or freezer paper. Tape the ends to secure. Optionally, if your bread has a ruff crust try using to layers of freezer bags instead and remove as much air as possible.

If freezing for sandwich bread slice the loaf into even slices and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or freezer paper.

Place the whole loaf into the freezer to freeze.

Bread slices place the cookie sheet into the freezer to flash freeze them. Once frozen remove from the freezer and package into freezer bags, removing as much air as possible.

When ready to thaw remove the loaf from the freezer and place it into the fridge or set it on your counter for a faster thaw.

Optionally to crisp up the crust place the bread after thawing into an oven at 350F for 10 minutes.
