What would you do?
Let's say you cook too many food for one day.Will you save it for the next day or you discard it ?
shareDepends what it is.
Mostly I'll keep it for a day or so and reheat.
If I know I won't use it the next day I freeze it.
If it's not something that keeps well I dispose of it.
It's hard to keep food comestible in the summer days,even the homemade bread.
shareYou don't have a refrigerator?
shareYes i do,but even the bread can last maybe three days,before it becomes bad.
shareFreeze it when it is fresh then?
shareHave you found a way to freeze bread where it still feels and tastes like fresh bread when it's defrosted? I haven't.
Granted, I can't much freeze anything now because the freezer in the fridge here is about the size of a bread box, made even smaller now because of the glacierettes since it's not frost-free :|
But back when I had a decent-sized freezer, the only thing frozen/defrosted bread was good for was making toast.
Is there a trick I'm missing?
I have never felt the need to freeze bread.
shareI do freeze bread.
Not often but it happens.
Sometimes you find yourself with extra bread, rolls or buns.
I put it in an extra bag and freeze it.
To me I can't tell the difference.
If you wait a week and then freeze it then it will dry out.
A lot of times the bread you buy at the store has a hole in the bag.
It does get freezer burn if left in the freezer for too long,I find it needs to be well wrapped and sealed but generally I don't have a problem.
Can you buy half loaves in the US?
What do you wrap and seal it in? That may be part of the problem I've had, not wrapping it well enough.
Unfortunately no half loaves here. Closest I can come to it is buying thin baguettes, which are great the first day, good the second, questionable on the third, and if there's any left on the fourth, it has to go in the trash.
I can get them in either sourdough or French breads, but sometimes you want whole wheat or some other variety of bread, ya know?
This is what I do. Mostly I try to make only enough for one or two meals. Don't create leftovers - problem solved.
