To make bread last longer, you can freeze it. This way, you won't have to throw away any excess product.

It is also useful if you want to extend the freshness period.

After baking bread, its freshness and crispy crust quickly disappear.

However, if you freeze it while it is still fresh, it will remain that way even after defrosting.

Freeze crusty bread, not hot. Before doing so, cut it into pieces, slices or portions that will last for one serving.

It is better to put the bread on a tray and put it in the freezer so that it freezes well. After that, you can put it in a plastic bag, close it tightly and store it in the freezer.

Freezing is not a way to freshen bread, because after defrosting it will also remain stale.

During storage, the bag with bread must be tightly closed, otherwise it will dry out.

To keep the bread fresh in the morning, take it out before going to bed and leave it at room temperature without opening the package.
