For Long Term Storage (more than three weeks): Wrap bread tightly in plastic wrap. Then, wrap it again in foil or freezer paper. Write the date on your bread before sticking it in the freezer; then, try to use it within six months. For Rolls and Buns: Place them inside a freezer bag, and seal tightly.
Remove bread from the freezer and leave at room temperature for up to six hours. Alternately, place bread in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Always leave the bread wrapped while it thaws.
