The Freezer Move That Saves the Rest of the Loaf
Food Systems
If you usually get through half a loaf before it goes stale, freeze the rest while it’s still fresh. Slice it first so you can take out just what you’ll use for toast, a sandwich or breadcrumbs.
Pack the slices in a freezer bag, press out extra air and label it with the contents and date. If slices tend to stick, separate them in small groups so you can grab a portion without thawing the loaf.
Keep a small list of freezer items where you’ll see it before shopping. That makes it easier to use the bread you already have and avoid buying another loaf unnecessarily.
