That time my coworker swore by freezing bread to save money - she was right
My coworker Linda told me six months ago to freeze bread to keep it from going stale. I thought she was crazy because I'd tried freezing bread before and it turned into a soggy mess. Turns out I was doing it wrong. I was just throwing the whole loaf in the freezer without slicing it first. Now I slice it, freeze it in a bag, and toast slices straight from the freezer. Has anyone else found other tricks like this that actually work?

Yeah the whole unsliced loaf thing is a trap, I did the same thing my first time. What works for me is wrapping each slice in wax paper before bagging it, keeps the freezer burn off. Also learned the hard way that bagels need to be split in half before freezing.

Wait, you're supposed to split bagels before freezing? I've been freezing them whole and they come out fine. Maybe I'm just lucky with my freezer?
