Notes
Cooled off: make sure the bread is fully cooled off before getting started otherwise condensation will build up in the package. This will lead to stale or soggy bread.
Wrapped well: the better you wrap it, the more protection it will have and the longer it will maintain a high quality
Portioned Properly: it's important to portion out the the bread in the amounts you will want to use when defrosted that way you can package in in those portions and only defrost the amount you need.
