"Freshly baked bread can be one of life's most pure and ephemeral joys, but its freshness can start to decline mere hours after it leaves the oven."
"Instead, let your frozen bread defrost in the refrigerator overnight. A longer defrost in the fridge is ideal so the temperature change is more gradual and will be less likely to cause sogginess."
"On the day you buy the loaf, slice as much bread as you think you won't use in the next few days into individual slices and wrap them for freezing."
"If you don't want to thaw out your frozen bread in the fridge, you can remove a slice or two from the freezer and put them directly into the toaster oven."
