#TipOfDay Do you use things that are made to go with other items but now you are using for something else entirely? I’ve found great deals on bread, English Muffins and other bread products. (It’s the sales for Easter that brought super low prices) I’ve never been successful at freezing bread but I’ll try again. In the meantime I’ve got a white metal rack meant to hold shoes, but perfect for bread products. It’s high over the large metal storage rack for extra storage and kitchen items.This way I don’t sacrifice counter space to bread. #Kitchen #Bread #Storage #GoodMorning #Today #Food

@cobalt123 Not sure how big your household is, and bread consumption, but breaking it down to daily bread needs seems to work for my wife.

My wife freezes her bread in zip lock baggies, usually 4 slices to a baggie. She just pulls a baggie out at night and by morning it is ready... works great for bread types that aren't a staple daily bread.

@paul Oh! I like this idea! Now I’ll see if any freezer ziplock bags I have will hold just 6 pieces. That’s right for us. I read that if I put parchment paper between slices it will help separating the bread slices to thaw. Thanks Paul!

@cobalt123 She did that at first, and has been doing this for decades, btw. She found that just leaving them out the night before with the bag unzipped around a quarter inch does fine and no need to add a separator...

@paul Excellent tip! Now I’m wondering if I can try bagels and English muffins this way. 2 to a bag laying next to each other and not stacked may work.

@cobalt123 She does bagels and English muffins, too. She just tosses them in the bag and wiggles them to fit the bag size she uses and closes them and thaws the same way ~ the night before.

FYI, rye bread seems to get crystals fast, so within a couple weeks, I would use any rye bread you freeze.

I use the ziplock bag method too. It seems to work well for what I use.
