Some tips to ensure you always have fresh bread at home:

1. Freeze Bread:

Toasting Frozen Bread: Frozen bread can go straight into the toaster, or you can thaw it at room temperature for a few minutes.

Slice Before Freezing: If you buy or bake a loaf, slice it before freezing. This way, you can take out just what you need without defrosting the whole loaf.

2. Buy Long-Lasting Bread:

Sourdough: Sourdough bread has a longer shelf life due to its natural fermentation process.

Wrap Properly: Store bread in a paper bag or a bread box to keep the crust crunch< and the inside soft.
