Storing Bread

Breads

Keep pan breads tightly wrapped and store at room temperature. Refrigerator storage has a tendency to stale bread quickly. Refrigerate only those breads that have a custard or meat filling. Crusty breads should be stored in paper bags that breathe.
To freeze, wrap in air-tight, freezer-suitable packaging. Freeze and hold breads and rolls at 0 degrees up to three to six months. Commercially baked breads may be frozen in their own wrappings if they are used in one or two weeks.
Thaw frozen bread at room temperature. Microwave thawing is not recommended because bread may dry out and become over-heated, which results in toughening.
