Why not slice it when I buy it fresh, put into a ziplock, suck air out with a straw and put into freezer. Then when I want toast or whatever...take out slices I want and it's crusty and "like fresh". Maybe this will enlighten someone else...

ps... Picked up one of those bread slicer/ tray at goodwill, which I think was what started my brain working...love how it cuts even slices.........just a thought
