Also does anybody else keep bread in the freezer??
Sure. I make my own dough (mostly flour from Landi -super mixtures), bake it in bread tins, when it is cold I cut the loaves in half, put into freezer bags, seal and freeze. Part of the dough I make into rolls - useful for hiking; I also bake a flatter loaf which is ideal for fondue as it has a lot of crust.

Doing this, I don't have to worry about buying bread if we go off early in the morning for the whole day and as I make my Zöpfe too, there's no problem with a Zopf for Sunday morning either.

Off Topic - Mind you, convenience wasn't the reason for starting the habit. The village baker used to offer my child a sweet whenever we bought bread. My daughter starting asking for a sweet as soon as we entered the shop. I didn't like it. So I start baking my own bread to avoid going there. And although this happened in about 1978... I simply never lost the habit.

PS - with the aid of a microwave, a loaf is thawed in two to three minutes. Normally, I fetch one out of the deep freeze in the evening and it is thawed by morning.
