I like to keep a package or two of muffins and bread in the freezer, so
don't have to go to the store when run out. But if in the freezer very
long, the bread gets frost and ice buildup. Anything to do to let the bread
thaw, and prevent some of it from getting soggy? Maybe lay out on paper
towel for a while?

In my experience, I just take it out of the freezer and leave it alone
for overnight or for a day. The ice crystals apparently melt and are
reabsorbed into the bread. There are no soggy or wet spots. When
thawing bread you must leave it in its covering until completely
thawed and at room temperature.

I usually don't leave them in the freezer too long, but it got pushed to the
back and had lot of ice on it (though fridge is frost free). Well, bread is
cheap so no biggie. I usually leave in the bag too and don't worry about
it, but been out of english muffins for a few days and had a hankering for
one.

Wrap it in a nice coat of paper towels. They will absorb the extra
moisture. NOT wasteful - you can still use the paper towels and the
bread/muffins won't have a damp texture. Polly

When I used to freeze gluten free products for my daughter, I portioned
everything out into freezer bags and then put the small bags into a large
freezer bag.
