It is important to put the bread in the freezer while it is still fresh. According to Centrum.cz and Dagens.dk, this should be done no later than 24 hours after the bread is purchased.
If you wait too long, you risk freezing bread that has already started to dry out.
It is also a good idea to slice the bread before freezing it. This allows you to take out only the slices you actually need later.
Avoid a frozen clump
The bread slices should not be placed directly in a freezer bag. According to Centrum.cz, they should first be arranged individually on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

The tray should then be placed in the freezer. Once the slices are frozen, they can be transferred to a freezer bag. Squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag and seal it tightly.
This prevents the slices from freezing together, making it easy to take out one or two slices without having to defrost the entire loaf.
Keeps surprisingly well
When you are ready to eat the bread, the slices can be thawed at room temperature. A microwave can also be used, although this may affect both the taste and texture.
Freezing bread correctly can also help reduce food waste, as you can take out only as much bread as you need.
