    ProTip: before you vacuum seal any bread, put it in the freezer until it’s solid and then pull it back out to vacuum seal.

      And even after this you might want to manually stop the sealer before it puts too much pressure on. Bread is surprisingly squishy because it’s mostly air.

        I worked at a Chinese bakery for 5 years shipping our breads all over the USA.

        We literally freeze it and seal it before we ship it out to our customers.

        There are some breads that don’t freeze well and that’s because some of our buns have ingredients in the middle but by and large all regular bread can and SHOULD be frozen to preserve freshness.

          Yes, that’s why store bought bread is always shit. I’m talking about freshly baked bread from a real bakery, not some shitty factory made “bread”.

          Anyone who has ever eaten real hand crafted bread from a German or French bakery would tell you the same

            Hard disagree my dude. I’m sure there are plenty of types of bread that don’t stand up to being frozen, but if you seal it from the dryness of the freezer, it’s an excellent way to preserve many breads. I bake my own and can barely tell a difference between a properly frozen and thawed loaf, and one that was baked a day ago.
