Refreshing Our Frozen Whole Loaves
Defrost loaf, preferably overnight, until soft and spongy. Preheat oven to 220-260 degrees C. when desired temp is reached, remove bread from bag and place on rack in centre of oven. Bake for approx. 10-15 mins until outside of loaf is hard and colour is dark golden brown. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Allow loaf to cool before cutting. Slice and store in paper or freezer bag for best results. Defrosted loaf does not have to be baked immediately as long as it is not removed from sealed freezer bag. It can stay in freezer bag on a kitchen counter for up to 2 days before baking.
Refreshing Our Frozen Sliced Loaves
Defrost loaf. Preheat oven to 220-260 degrees C. remove sliced bread from bag, wrap loaf in tinfoil, and when desired oven temp is reached, place tinfoil wrapped loaf on rack in centre of oven and bake until enough steam has been created within the tinfoil to soften the interior of the loaf. Re-place tin-foiled loaf in oven until this is achieved. Allow loaf to cool and store in freezer bag for best results.
