How to Freeze Baked Bread
Bread & Dough
If you like to be organised and always have a loaf of bread to hand, or can't quite get through a whole loaf before it begins to go stale then this is a great time saving tip to freezing a baked loaf.
Method
Step 1
It is important to ensure that your loaf is fully cooled before freezing.
Step 2
It is easier to pre-slice your loaf beforehand as it tends to have a crumblier texture after being frozen. Also, if you won't use the loaf all at once you can wrap each slice individually so that you only need to defrost a slice or two as and when you want them.
Step 3
Double wrap the loaf or slices in cling film or tin foil to protect your bread from freezer burn.
Step 4
It is handy to date your wrapped loaf before freezing and consume within 6 months.
Step 5
When it comes to eating your loaf, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw.
Step 6
For that fresh baked feel, wrap your loaf in tin foil and warm in the oven on a low heat (170°C) for 10-15 minutes.
