Well, I suppose that is something.

I tend to make more rolls these days rather than loaves, because rolls can be
frozen individually and taken out one by one, as and when we need them.

The only drawback with that idea, is the lack of options to put in the
toaster. Therefore I have experimented with making the occasional loaf, and
slicing it before freezing - but as has been mentioned, getting slices of a
decent thickness is trial and error.

My wife makes a variety of jams, and I make a variety of pates because I try
not to eat too much sugary food - therefore toast can be quite popular.
