Do not refrigerate bread freeze it instead.
[QUOTEnoT=sewingpup;8561871]Yep, don't refrigerate bread. It actually is better to freeze it. I just slice it before freezing and just take out the slices a bit before I use it. Can toast it or even just let it sit for a bit covered with wax paper or something to keep it from drying out while thawing.[/QUOTE]
Please know this freezing only stops the aging of whatever it is you are freezing. Lots of people do not realize this. I buy/ make fresh bread and immediately put it in the freezer when cool. Slice or potion it before freezing. It will defrost very quickly. Wet a paper towel and wring it out well and wrap the defrosting bread in it. It will taste and feel as fresh as the day you froze it!
