Hey all, I am looking to freeze these breads for gifts (thanksgiving and xmas) Would these freeze well if I wrapped them in plastic and a ziplock bag?

Absolutely. Do it all the time. When you take them out let them thaw completely and the tie a pretty ribbon around the plastic wrapped loaf. Make great gifts.

No, I wrapped mine in aluminum foil and then placed them in ziplock baggies. The breads were dry and tasteless. I suspect that the pans absorb the moisture from the breads because the pans had darkened substantially. I still stand by the pans but not for freezing purposes.

I made banana bread and froze them for a few weeks. They were in a freezer bag. They were fine!

I'm not sure. I'd rather take them out and wrap then tightly in plastic to freeze. I think then you could unfreeze them and put them back in the pans to gift to others.

I have used these for years. I bake multiple types of bread (40 loaves total last year during the holidays) and they all freeze well. I wrap them tightly in freezer plastic (very heavy duty) and then seal them with tape. I use labels to keep the names straight. Good luck.

I actually haven't tried freezing these, but I imagine, since they are coated, they would do well in the freezer, and wouldn't pose a problem with moisture as the breads defrosted. Good luck, I hope it works out well!

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Yes that would work....but Yes that would work but aluminum foil works much better to keep out any freezer burn.

I would freeze the bread first and then vacuum seal. this way you can pull all the air out and not crush the bread. I do the same thing with hamburgers; freeze them until they are hard and then seal them. They don't stick together and you don't lose the juice.

Thanks for the replies. Haven't had good results freezing store bought hot dog buns but hopefully these will keep better. I had the same thought about using foil. Haven't used the pan yet but may try a half recipe after the first one, that fifth one can always go to the birds, lol.

Good question. I used it right away. If I was concerned about expiration, I would store it well wrapped in layers or in freezer ziplock bags in freezer. I have always heard that flour stored in the freezer could be used up to a year. Storing a high grain bread such as this... I wouldn't feel right just storing it in a cabinet at room temp, these types if flours go rancid easier and faster stored that way.

There is no need to freeze or refrigerate the unopened package. I don't refrigerate the unused portion. Very long shelf life in sealed pkg. It is made with low moisture and I believe with no preservatives. If you enjoy nutty slightly chewy texture you will love this bread. Nutrient dense. Toast to bring out the flavor.

I've seen it in the refrigerated section on one market, but on a rack at Trader Joes. I double or triple bag my breads and always freeze them to extend their life. Just be sure to keep as much air out of the bag as you can when wrapping it in the bags.

Every bag has sealed,has big sealer tape.When I had a foodsaver and sealing something wet and juicy,i would place a paper towel inside the bag at the top before sealing.frozen paper towel hurt's nothing.Good Luck

Our local grocer's stocks frozen loaves of Udi's white sandwich bread. I buy 3 or 4 loaves and keep them in the freezer and take one out to thaw in the fridge for the next sandwiches. Their bread keeps for at least a week. I even re-freeze bread crusts for stuffing. Good stuff! The bread is for my spouse, who prefers it toasted.

Never tried these with cheese. Why not just freeze in a plastic bag ? It does not take very long to become useable. It you are cooking with it, it does not matter--just take out the freezer bag and use it frozen. No problem !!!!I would suggest freezing cheese anyway if you want to keep a long time. I am sure these containers would work, but plastic bags take less space ---be sure to press out air from bag BEFORE you close.

I've never used them in the freezer for something like raw meat. I've used them for basil leaves and stuff like that. The ziplock freezer bags with the air pump are pretty great for keeping things fresh.

These are not sealable bags. They do freeze well - but you'll need to use the cap system or store in a freezer bag

yes, they freeze very well. I buy them by the case and keep out a few pkgs. and freeze the rest.

I don't currently have a Ziplock Freezer bag on hand for a comparison, I would say that these bags are of the same thickness. I use them all the time for marinating meat and they have never split or punctured or leaked. I will buy them again.

I keep mine in the freezer, but they should be fine in the pantry if you use them within a month or two.

When I received mine 5 months ago, I wrapped the remaining pieces in paper toweling (had about 3 or 4 packages) & put all of them in a zip lock bag. They lasted easily 3 months. (Longer than that they mold). Mine was very fresh, so that probably makes a difference. It's important to keep it dry and cool. I didn't try freezing - so I don't know if that works. Hope this helps

I would think they would freeze well. I used them fairly quickly, so I didn't have to freeze them. I will tell you they were not all intact when they arrived. It didn't matter for my purposes, but just saying.

I actually don't know. I dumped all of them in a freezer zip lock and there they are. No issues as far a taste...they thew in a few minutes and then delish!
