Freezing Bread - Brooklyn,MI

i don't do anything special, really. wrap 'em in tin foil then a freezer bag with the air hand-squeezed out. works just fine.

I am actually doing this as we speak! Make sure the bread is completely cooled. I wrap mine is saran wrap and then tinfoil, place in a zip lock bag and freeze. I made some this time last year as well and just pulled the last loaf out last week, no freezer burn and tasted just as good as the first one!

I freeze them all the time....

All I do is cool the bread, and put it in a zip-lock bag and squeeze as much air out as possible. I haven't noticed any freezer burn on them.

However, if you don't cool the bread, you may get more moisture in the bag, and that may lead to the ice forming.

you can easily freeze all kinds of baked goods without freezer burn. First you have to be sure it's completely cool before bagging and freezing. Draw all the air out of the plastic bag (You can suck it out - but pressing on the bag works almost as well.) Most of the time the freezer burn is from slight thaw and re-freezing. If you have a freezer chest that's separate from your fridge use that. If you're using your regular freezer in the kitchen the bset way to avoid freezer burn on anything is to prevent the "thaw" - make sure that the back vent and the front vents are not blocked (My husband is famous for shoving stuff against the rear vent from which the cold airs blows) and the freezer temp goes up... Double bag the breads. They will be freshest if you freeze them as soon as they're cool. If you wait a day or two your'e freezing less-than-fresh bread - so it won't come out of the freezer any better. Finally, when you defrost, just leave them in the bag on your counter overnight and they'll be raedy to go in the morning.
Enjoy!

The trick for freezing anything is to make sure there's no air in the bag. So wrap your loaves in plastic wrap or foil so that there is no air touching the surface. Foil can rip so seal that wrapped loaf in a zippered plastic bag. The bread keeps very well.

ohh can you share your recipe? My 2 year old wont eat zucchini but I bet he would eat the bread :-)

I've done banana bread - not zucchini bread...

COMPLETELY cooled. then I wrap in the Press 'n Seal wrap and then inside a ziploc bag - making sure there is NO air in the bag.

My mom uses her vacuum sealer - gets the air out and it when defrosted? GREAT!!!

I only notice freezer burn on food I've stored over 6 months in the freezer.
