FREEZERS
The freezer is the ideal place to store bread for keeping beyond its ‘best before’ date or when mold growth is a concern.
Wrapped bread will keep for up to three months in the freezer. Defrosting a loaf at room temperature can take a few hours; this can be speeded up by wrapping it in foil and placing it in a pre-heated oven.
HOW TO REFRESH BREAD
Crusty bread, rolls and buns which have become a little stale can be freshened by wrapping in foil and placing in a pre-heated oven at 450°F (250°C ) 5-10 minutes. The bread should be left in the foil to cool down and eaten soon afterwards because reheating causes it to dry out and go stale fairly quickly. When crusty bread has lost its crispness it can be placed uncovered in a hot oven for 5 minutes.
