Somehow I managed to miss this discussion. I've not had much chance
to bake bread recently, but we have a marvellous baker coming to our
farmers market, who makes bread the old-fashioned way, sourdough
bread made with organic flour and baked in a large wood fired
oven. When I know that I'll not be able to get any the following
week I buy several loaves (they come wrapped in kraft paper bags) put
them in zip lock bags and freeze them. When I take them out I just
leave them to sit on the counter in the zip lock bag until
defrosted. There's hardly ever any freezer burn, and the bread
tastes just like fresh.
Happy baking, everyone
Andreas
