Ice Crystals Forming When I Freeze Bread

RE: Ice Crystals Forming When I Freeze Bread By Joel (Guest Post) You can find some information about how to preserve bread at http://joel.gourlain.chez-alice.fr Tell me your opinion, thanks Posted on 04/12/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ice Crystals Forming When I Freeze Bread By Becki in Indiana (Guest Post) I think the key is in the thawing -- air needs to be able to circulate around the package as it thaws or it will be hard on the bottom or side. I like the idea previously posted of hanging the package -- I generally lay mine across the top of the toaster to thaw -- make sure it is COMPLETELY cool first!

Also, I have found that bread doesn't keep even in the freezer but about a month or so. I will buy 3 or 4 loaves freeze all but one and by the time we use them up they are still good but if I wait any longer they are freezer burned.

Then place the wrapped bread back into the original wrapper. Take them out of the freezer,as many as you need at a time, and let them thaw before opening the press and seal wrap.

I discovered that hanging the bread to thaw prevents the hard spots! I have a heavy metal clip magnet that I clip to the bread bag at the tie and hang it from my range hood. Not much later I have soft, thawed bread! Good luck!

Posted on 05/08/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Ice Crystals Forming When I Freeze Bread By mkymlp (230) Contact I have had luck by putting a dry paper towel in with the bread before freezing and double bagging. Keep paper towel in the bread while thawing. I lay the towel at the bottom of the bread.

The bag it comes in is not really made for freezing. I always freeze mine because I live alone so one loaf lasts a while.

ALSO TRY DOUBLE BAGGING.

This would cause condensation to form, and then that moisture would freeze into ice crystals. Make sure your bread is completely cooled before putting it in bags.
