We can eat a lot of bread in my house. But even for two carbivores, a big loaf can sometimes be too much to finish before it starts to go stale.

Thank goodness for the freezer.

We’re often admonished not to refrigerate bread, which accelerates staling, but the freezer is another matter. It serves as a kind of pause button, meaning fresh bread you move into cold storage can come out almost as good as the day you put it in.

1. It's also the best place to keep bread for TOASTING!

Posted here months ago, I've been doing it ever since.

2. I save hunks of

bread in the freezer until I have enough to make a big batch of garlic croutons. Who doesn’t love a homemade crouton? 😍

4. What a good idea!

I have some going stale bread in my kitchen - it's going in the freezer tonight - soon to be croutons.

6. Wish I could take credit

but I got the idea from a chef on food network. Am I allowed to say who on here? It was Pioneer a Woman...she infused olive oil with whole garlic cloves in a cast iron skillet. After the oil was flavored, she discards the garlic and poured the olive oil over cubed bread and tossed to coat. Then the bread cubes were put back in the skillet to toast until they were done the way you like them. It takes a bit longer than baking them on a cookie sheet in the oven but the benefit of the skillet is that you don’t forget them in the oven. Try it! They’re wonderful.

5. Keeping it ready

For bread pudding or casseroles.
