I make bread sometimes and it comes out pretty well, but it takes me far more than 20 minutes of active time. I’d love to learn how you do it. Thanks!

That way you can thaw just as much bread you need (10-30 sec in microwave + let it rest for a couple of minutes) and not worry that the bread will go stale. I thought previously that freezing will affect bread quality, but it really doesn’t!

I am mostly convinced that wheat is not good for us. I still eat some bread because I like it, but VERY little. The plus side is I spend a lot less time baking bread :)

We would buy 4 loaves and freeze two of them. Pull them out a week or two later.
