How to Freeze Bread

Today I am going to show you a simple little trick that will help you save money.  Did you know that you can freeze a loaf of bread? Yes, even sandwich bread!

You can freeze really any type of bread from entire loaves to slices, muffins, rolls and more. We even freeze garlic bread! This is a great way to avoid wasting bread. Just freeze it for later!

Why We Love Freezing Bread

Freezing bread is great if you make to much and to enjoy for later use. Following these easy tips will result in the frozen bread to keep the best texture and taste.

You can thaw the bread or place the bread in a toaster oven to enjoy with your favorite jelly.

How to Freeze Sandwich Bread

Just place the bread in the freezer in the package it came in. If it is going to be in the freezer for more than 2 to 3 weeks, you will need to place in a freezer bag.

This will help to ensure it stays fresh and not get freezer burn.

How to Freeze Loaves

If you have made extra Irish Soda Bread Recipe, Easy Homemade Artisan Bread Recipe or bakery bread you can easily freeze it. To make sure no moisture gets into the bread and to increase shelf-life wrap the bread in freezer paper.

Then place the fresh bread in a freezer bag. This will also work for sourdough bread or banana bread.

How to Freeze Rolls

If you have leftover Empty Tomb Rolls, 30 Minute Dinner Rolls or Homemade Crescent Rolls you can easily freeze them.

Place the baked rolls in a freezer bag. I like to use the large gallon size bags. You can grab a roll or however many you need when you are ready to serve. Allow them to thaw at room temperature then reheat in the oven or the microwave.

Expert Tips

• Slice Fresh Bread – If you have a whole loaves of bread and you want to freeze for future use, we recommend slicing it before wrapping in plastic wrap. This will allow you to take out the amount of slices that you need.
• Make Extra Homemade Bread – We love to plan ahead for the holidays and double the recipe when we are making bread. After the full loaf of bread is cooled to room temperature wrap in plastic wrap. Then wrap in aluminum foil and for an extra layer of protection. This is great for a last minute side.
• Bread Dough – If you prefer, you can also just freeze bread dough which will save space in your freezer.
