does anyone actually freeze bread?

Bread, rolls, english muffins, cupcakes, they all freeze well. A good seal is the important thing. Don't just toss the loaf into the freezer in its regular bag, you need an airtight container or it'll get ruined.
 
I find my bread lasts long enough in the fridge.

I buy fresh French bread every now and then and I just leave that on the counter.

My mom does. I dont understand why she just doesnt purchase less bread at once and avoid wasting freezer space.

Technically, you save electricity buy putting more stuff in your fridge and freezer. You can actually save a bit of money by filling the empty spaces in your fridge/freezer with water jugs. Considering fridges are power hogs, its probably a good idea.
 
I've done it, it works really well. It's especially good when you live by yourself and don't use stuff like hamburger buns all the time. Just leave it out overnight to thaw
 
Yup. Often.
If my mom would be cooking, she'd like to make a few batches, to make the mess and fuss worthwhile. Extra got stashed in the freezer.

I only ever freeze burger rolls anymore. I don't have a chest freezer, so there's just not room for anything much to go in there for long-term storage.

 
I have to - living alone it takes me 3-4 weeks to eat a whole loaf so I stick half in the freezer.

Otherwise it'd go bad before I even got around to eating it.
 
All the time. When I lived in my last place I had a great oven and was really into baking. I would parbake bread and freeze it all the time so I could have fresh bread every other day. Freezing is the best way to preserve bread for an extended period of time.

Where do people come up with these assumptions?

I suppose it would depend on the size of your fridge, but ..

The fridge in our old place used a whopping 225W, and cost us 8$/mo @ 0.095/kWh, or about 85kWh. And it was an old 80s model.

I dunno. I guess it's a lot depending on your electricity usage habits.
 
All the time. Bagels as well. I take bagels straight from the freezer and toss em into my toaster and they come out real nice.

if you are still having your mom supply your bread, there are probably lots of things you haven't heard of.

she's crazy like that, always stocking things and making rounds to all us kids (heh, we're all above 30 y/o, not kids i guess), dropping off whatever she finds on sale. she's a saint really. it's not like i (or my 7 brothers and sisters) need the stuff, she's just always thinking of other and preparing for the worst. she has a basement full of food, a second huge freezer for meat.

heh, she's 74 and walks 18 holes, she can do what she wants. 😉
 
i'll try it out then, wrap it up tight andsee how it tastes. i just never heard of it before.

Same thing for milk.

milk too? how long does that last in the freezer?

I have personally never done this, but I have known people that do. It works fairly well I guess. Not sure how long it lasts.

You can also do it with cheese and butter, but I've never done that either. Dairy doesn't last long around here.. lol
 
I freeze bread often since I live by myself and I rarely eat it fast enough to finish it before it starts growing mold.

Just make sure you thaw it by simply leaving it out. Don't thaw in the microwave. It makes it all mushy and gross.
