shit never reheats the same in my experience. just eat the goddamn bread.

its another white people thing

like hiding the fucking trash can

i've done it, if you take out like two pieces it doesn't take long to thaw, and isn't different or anything

but i only do it if there is a bread product on sale, or a BOGO offer

i save them nickels

Because I eat bread so rarely I throw it in the fridge.

It then tastes like things in the fridge, but this is alleviated by toasting the bread. I am the worst kind of bachelor.

Also, when I leave bread out on the counter it seems to spoil within a week, and since I don't really like cooking/preparing food ever I kind of need my bread to last a bit longer (like, say, through the apocalypse).

I do it if it's bread I only eat occasionally. Like hot dog buns.

I'll buy a pack of hot dogs and a pack of buns, eat 2 hot dogs, and by the time I want to eat a couple more like a week later my buns are either stale or molded.

i don't like freezing it (well i freeze bagels and english muffins)

but i do put my bread in the fridge

i feel like it gets moldy less fast

oh and i toast my bread so...there is no weirdness when i eat it because toasted bread is toasted bread

Freezing it -> bad.

Refrigerating extends lifespan without affecting chemistry -> good

^ why is it bad? bad in what sense?

i bet if i took a slice out of the fridge and one out of the freezer, let them come to room temperature, and made identical sandwiches out of each one (1-slice sandwich), you wouldn't be able to tell which is which. and that's even more true if i toast them both.

and btw, any environmental change affects food chemistry.

because Papa John said so

i've always kept mine in the refrigerator, but i can't remember why i started doing it.

I deal with sub rolls for a living. Thawed bread is stiffer. It tastes like 3 day old bread, but doesn't taste stale. The pro is that it tastes like 3 day old bread...1 month,2month,3month down the road when you thaw it. It's a viable option for people that only get deliveries once every 2 weeks or for families that buy in bulk when there is a good deal.

For restaurant freshness though, you can't do frozen bread unless you're a cheapo mom and pop shop with extremely low volume. Even subway and macdonalds don't freeze their bread for this reason.

My mom does it, and I would too if I stockpiled bread. Since I don't stockpile bread, I don't freeze what I do buy.
