Am I a weirdo for freezing my bread?
- Thread starter Thwomp

On occasion, but I don't want mandatory crusty bread with it. ;__;
I keep some bread in the freezer but normally I finish a loaf before it gets mouldy.
When you buy sliced bread, what does it come in?

No, it thaws quickly and isn't soggy at all. Like anything, though, if you leave it frozen too long it will get freezer burn.
I basically do this with Pita Bread every time I go to Costco. It doesn't do anything to the bread and you aren't weird because of it. Toasting them on the pan right out of the freezer is great! ^.^
Nope. We buy two loaves of bread at Costco for the price of one at a regular grocery store - freeze one, put the other in the bread box. We only buy bread every two weeks.
Freezing bread is totally fine, but simply putting it in the refrigerator (non freezer section) is not. Seems like the myth of "it stays fresher" hasn't died yet, and many people are still doing that, when it actually makes the bread dry out and go stale faster.
I actually really like toast with peanut butter or jelly, but not an entire sandwich that way. I'll just have it on non toasted bread instead.

Bread never lasts me long enough that I need to freeze it. I just...go to the store and buy a new loaf every week. I live in a shared house so clogging up the freezer with bread would be considered a dick move, and I feel no need to do it anyway.
Very few people have the time to slice bread for each and every time they need a sandwich, toast, etc. Great that you have that time, but not so for the rest of us. Sliced bread is such an integral part of the modern human experience that it has its idiom.
I have an apartment-style deep freeze in my basement devoted to bread. We go through a ton of it, it's just easier this way
My wife does this... it drives me insane.
She insists on getting white bread from a bakery in her small home town because "it tastes amazing"..
It's generic fucking white bread. It tastes the same as regular supermarket white bread. And once you freeze it.. its definitely worse that regular supermarket bread.

Are you being serious? Sliced bread isn't a time thing, it's for convenience.
I'm not sure how to really untangle time from convenience. One flows from the other.
It takes like 20 seconds to slice bread. Are you one of those people that likes to claim that they don't "have time" for anything because they're just soooo busy? lol
No, that's a perfectly normal thing to do. I don't do it much though, since I have a small freezer and live right next to a grocery store.
Freezing food so it won't turn bad? Nope, not exactly weird.
In fact, I could swear that's the whole point of fridges.

Usually we just put it in the fridge to defrost. Generally near the end of the loaf we're currently using.
I've never actually thought of freezing bread before, but it makes as much sense as freezing any other type of food. Doesn't seem that weird.
I used to do this when I would travel for work a lot. Might only use four pieces of bread a week and didn't want to waste it.
I often freeze a spare bag of bread and any kind of sandwich buns I may have. I just pull them out as needed.
I only buy one loaf at a time unless there's some kind of BOGO deal, but the kind of bread I buy goes bad pretty quickly (doesn't have preservatives in it, I think) so I do have to freeze it if I want to make it through the whole loaf before it gets moldy. (I live alone, so there's no one to share it with.)
I never really did it before switching to this type of bread, because it wasn't necessary, we'd never done it at home growing up, and I didn't know freezing bread was a thing. Didn't learn that until I saw a roommate in college do it.
