How To Store Homemade Gluten Free Bread

I was just starting out on this adventure of Gluten Free shopping when I ran into someone who was more knowledgeable than I. Her husband had Celiac Disease and she was quite helpful to me and gave me quite a few hints.

One of those hints I will share with you now: How to Store Gluten Free Bread

Most of you will most likely make your own bread, either in a bread machine or with a heavy duty mixer. Or maybe even with a hand held Kitchen Aid mixer. You'll bake it and let it cool. Then because it smells so good, maybe you'll eat a slice. But then what? GF bread is always so crumbly after the first day, how do you store it?

This is what has worked the best for my family:

You'll need a gallon sized zip lock plastic bag, wax paper, a cutting board for GF bread, and a bread knife.

Slice up your GF bread. Cut out rectangles about the size of your bread slices from the wax paper. Place one of the heels of bread in your plastic bag, then a piece of your wax paper, continue to alternate with the bread and wax paper until you are done. Seal the bag. Place in freezer.
Now you have bread that is ready by the slice. Simply place in toaster or toaster oven when ready to eat.

If you want a slice of bread that is warm and moist, but have only frozen slices? Check it out and try it!:

Place slice of bread on microwave safe plate. Place a small piece of paper towel, just barely sprinkled with water. Lay it over the slice of bread and microwave for about 15-20 seconds. Turn bread over and microwave for about another 7-10 seconds. The times will vary and you may have to experiment a few times to get it right. But the end result should produce a slice of bread like it just came out of the oven! yum!
