HOW TO: Freeze & Store Bread (July 2020)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2018
- Sourdough bread like most bread freezes extremely well and when done properly means we can enjoy our sourdough even when we are too busy to bake. It is also a fantastic way to avoid waste.
Until recently I wouldn’t consider freezing my sourdough bread. I liked the idea that we had an abundance of freshly baked bread at home. But the reality was a little different, sometimes I was too busy to bake, but what worried me more was the amount of waste.

I store my hotdog buns in the freezer maybe over 3 months ago and thawed it in the microwave. As long as I don't see mold, I'm eatin it🤤

Looks nice, I just started bakein bread in my wood stove, it's really good stuff but to freeze it , great idea
Great tips! Yummmmmmmmmm
That’s awesome thank you for the info. Your breads look really good.
Our pleasure!
good info, also I like the good jazz in the background
Corona brought me here. Thank god I have a chest freezer and a small garden.
yeah. really hard to get fresh bread. need to find a way to preserve it better
After 45 days of grocery shop but to no avail of finding a wheat bread I managed to get one load today. The problem is I live alone and the loaf is long. The expiry is on 4th May and I only have 6 days left to consume it.
ImpactoDelSur Enterprise ha ha yep I have a lot of bread and want it to last. We couldn’t find a chest freezer started looking around Minneapolis in March. Sold out everywhere.
I think homemade bread last with rosemary.
Wonderful!
Whoever your bakery is ask him to add a little oil to your loaf that will extend the life just a little. Oil doesn’t evaporate as fast as water
Really helpful, thanks!
Thanks usir 4 the tips
Great video
Great video thank you
I'm baking two huge loaves now and I will freeze one to verify this amazing video. Thanks for the great lesson.
Please let me know how it comes out after being in the freezer
Thank you for this video
Thanks for info
Thank you for the tips! I always have more than we can eat!
You are so welcome!
That baking bread gets a thumbs up
Good Demo....... I needed that and i always wrongly thawed my bread in the wrapping
Dammit! I said I wasn't gonna learn anything today...THANK YOU!

Thank you!
I still haven't found a video that shows how to defrost sliced load bread to use for sandwiches.
Galaxi 7 I pre-slice my loaf before freezing sometimes. Best way I’ve found to use them quick from the freezer is to put in the toaster on the lowest possible setting. Doesn’t really toast the bread but it softens it.
Great Video suggestion!
When you take your bread out of the freezer placed it on the counter leave it in the bag just open it to allow it to breathe and not sweat. Most loaves should take no longer than 20 minutes depending on the temperature in your house. A slice of course is much quicker. Whatever you do, don’t put it in the microwave. It’s always best to toast bread or place the whole loaf in a preheated 350°F oven for 15 minutes after it has been frozen it brings back the flavor.

Thanks buddy
Thank you
I only freeze sliced whole meal seeded packaged bread. I separate/space the slices in the bag, freeze, and then when I want a slice, I can easily separate each frozen slice and STEAM the slice, to bring it back to just baked fresh.
Good
Good pointers

Thanks for this information. Very timely for a trip and taking bread with me. #bakinggreatbreadathome.
Sounds great!
Hi love your ideas. Please give me a recipe for a brown bread. Love from South Africa
I was hoping for some more tips how to package 📦 the bread before I put in freezer and how your methods show ways it stays moist.
I see the cling wrap, and a thicker bag. Is that your method??
Too bad he hasn’t replied.
Nothing out of the ordinary here. I slice and freeze my sourdough bread and take it out to eat one slice at a time. I was looking for some magical type of quilted metallic freezer bag. I'm thinking bubble wrap might do the trick.
Thank you for sharing as l bake bread often but wasn't to sure whether you could freeze freshly baked bread
You should join our Facebook group, "Baking Great Bread at Home." You'll find a lot of like-minded carbaholics there.
Been eating to much frozen bread there George! Don't care what you do, you can still tell the difference!
Great video Henry! I am now using my Food Saver to freeze my bread. I flash freeze it first, then put it in a food saver bag - either measured out or the gallon size zip lock bags they have. Works great but I am going to follow your plastic wrapping as well. Thanks so much for the tips on this! Greatly appreciated.
is it that important? We really need to reduce our plastic usage, if you are using the bags. I am not fussy and its only for me, so i freeze the bread in a bag that is not sealed, if i bought it, the bag it came in and if i made the bread i have a bag i reuse. I have a food saver but feel guilty to use it. Only using it for my expensive medicinal butter and flowers. Too much plastic not good. Impossible, we cant use this much plastic, everyone of us for every loaf of bread. I'd rather take a cotton bag to the bake shop to buy the bread
@@voidremoved Appreciate your comment. I'm a huge proponent of all recycling and I reuse my food saver bags as well. The plastic designed for freezing is critical to how it protects the food when in the freezer and the food saver unit does a great job of removing the air so condensation keeps it from getting freezer burn. So far, my frozen storage using the Food Saver has more than tripled in length of time, which is great. Food stays as fresh as the day I froze it. So much better than regular plastic.
@@judykish1481 in 2022 we are going to have bread shortage so I wouldn't worry about the plastic
I just got my first loaves of real bread from a bakery and I put them in freezer bags for the freezer - should I not be using freezer bags? But instead put them in those thin bags that they came in? The bakery pre-slices them which is helpful for a single person since I can only eat up maybe four slices in three days.
You can use freezer bags and certainly a heavier bag would be best. You can freeze your bread for months. Just let it defrost on the counter, open a little so it can breathe and not get soggy from the condensation. It's also a better idea not to have it sliced and to buy a bread knife or something serrated. Sliced bread has more surface area obviously and it will dehydrate faster which is what causes bread to go stale.
What was the wrap you used on that whole-wheat honey oat?
Should I slice before I freeze
You are so cute. Thank you for the video:)
Where do you get your plastic bread bags?
Thanks for the vid, going to try this with the french bread I got last night. Don't have a bag though :/
How did this work out for you?
@@henryhunterjr it worked out alright... Nothing beats fresh though. I think what I might do in the future is get a small bread maker.

Nice Spanish Guitar
Only way I store my bread! I can never finish a loaf before the expiration date
Wonderful!
You’re eating store-bought bread. Fresh bread not last nearly as long but I think you eat more of it
facebook.com/groups/1082865755403754/?ref=share
I will freeze most of the bread right away. Knowing I wont eat it fast enough, so i freeze most of it right away, its better to freeze things as fresh as possible instead of wait till its already old then freeze it
Do you have videos on making these types of bread as well as the containers you use to bake them.
Absolutely, search our channel for Artisan White Bread.
Yes go back and look at my videos on this page now. Royal Bread Loaf Packing Bags HD... www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXCKFUE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
How do you thaw bread.
I wrap my Italian Bread in Foil then into a plastic bag & into my freezer Is this a good way to freeze it or not.? Thanks for sharing Henry
Great! The foil is overkill, save the step and just double bag it!

If I slice my homemade loaf, wrap it in plastic and put it in the freezer, how long would it take to thaw a single slice at room temperature?
10 minutes if it’s between 75 and 80°F
3:33 the honey 🍯 magic 🍞
How about store bought ?
Store-bought packaged bread is a tragedy. It's not really bread. It's something we in the United States have learned to call bread. Join us on Facebook at "Baking Great Bread at Home." We will teach you to make your own bread. Reach out to me anytime if you need help.
what type of bags do you use? Is it perforated bags?

So, double bagging is the trick. . .Thanks!
It sure is!
01:15 Wouldn't taking out of the bag will make the soggy anyway? The right procedure would be to put the bread in the bag, keep, the bag open for a while, while in the freezer, so all the moisture in the bag disappears. (The freezer is below 0°C/32°F so the air there has no moisture). Then tie or close the bag. Now bread in surrounded by air with no moisture. Now thaw the bread while it is in the bag. No more soggy bread.
Thanks for the video.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where do I get those bags?

And a seed bread. Please pretty please.
i prefer if you can show what kind of plastic bag or container to use and how you store it in the freezer, rather than showing different types of bread and how does they taste. I came here because of the title. i hope you dont mind. Thanks
I’m embarrassed that it’s taken me this long to get back to you. I apologize.
The plastic bag most of my customers use is the one I bag the bread in. It’s a little stronger than a grocery store bread bag but not much. You can also store your bread and gallon size Ziploc bags. You just don’t want moisture to escape. The little bit of moisture that still exists will freeze quickly. I keep bread in the freezer for months. I just did a video on what I took out of the freezer yesterday should be posted tomorrow. Now when you take it out and defrost it leave it in the bag cabinet in and leave it on the counter opened until it reaches room temperature. That won’t take long. To reheat an entire loaf, preheat your oven to 350° and place your bread on a rack for 15 min

I really enjoyed your video! I have a bread maker machine and have always had problems storing the bread. FOr a week at room temp it dries out and the frig dries it out like you mentioned.
