Insane?

**Gingersnap** · 11-24-2008, 08:26 PM

My boss is retiring shortly. I'm organizing the retirement party. I was considering making about 5 loaves of white and rye sourdough bread as part of the feasting. I only have the one starter so I would have to bake a loaf or two every weekend for a few weeks and freeze the loaves. Then I would have to thaw them before the Big Day.

Generally, I only freeze dog bread so I don't know if this type of bread would thaw well.

Ideas?

Don't you have grocery stores out there?

Gosh a Goshen! I think we have two or three that I recall.

My sourdough bread is to die for. It's so good that the blind see, the lame walk, and the lawyers simply cry.

It's that good. :D

They'd sue. It's pretty terrible.

Dog bread can't be worse than bird bread.

That stuff has a whole can of creamed corn in it - and egg shells.

Real lawyers don't cry. Ever.

I have never frozen anything but hot dog buns. That really didn't turn out well.

I did find this:

Can I freeze my bread?
Yes, remove it from the bag, wrap the loaf or rolls in heavy duty aluminum foil and place it back in the bag and freeze. To thaw, place the bread on the counter for 6 to 7 hours. When completely thawed you can place it in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes and have oven fresh bread. Sorry, the morning bread loaves can not be reheated this way.

The dude is retiring. Get him a bottle of booze and a hooker. Not a damn loaf of sour dough. :p

They would if they had to eat dog bread.

Back to the topic. People have said that thawed real bread is fine if eaten the same day (which I could do) but I don't want to go to the work if it's less than stellar.
