FAQ
Q: Does freezing bread affect its nutritional value?
A: Freezing bread does not significantly change its nutritional content but can impact texture and flavor.
Q: Why does bread become dry or crumbly after thawing?
A: Freezing causes ice crystals to form inside the bread’s structure, which can rupture cell walls and lead to a dry, crumbly texture after thawing.
Q: Can I refreeze thawed bread?
A: It’s best to avoid refreezing bread as it further degrades quality and increases the risk of mold growth.
Q: How long can bread be frozen?
A: Bread can be frozen for up to 3 months without a major loss in quality if properly wrapped.
Q: Are frozen bread products from stores different?
A: Store-bought frozen bread often contains preservatives and additives to maintain texture, which can make it hold up better than homemade bread when frozen and thawed.
