I found that when sliced bread is frozen the slices stick together.
When we buy bakery bread we don't have them slice it, we slice as
needed, a loaf goes in the fridge and lasts us 4-5 days. When we buy
packaged sliced bread it's kept in the fridge... if frozen the entire
loaf is defrosted in the fridge. About half the time we buy hard
rolls. We obviously consume more bread than you... and we both prefer
different types of bread. My wife prefers multi-grain breads, loaded
with seeds... I like bread with seeds but my teeth don't enjoy it, She
toasts her bread, I rarely toast bread. I can tell when she's
toasting bread, invariably the smoke alarm goes off.
