By the cheapest ones and throw out what you don't use. They are good for any sandwich, and toasted used as rolls.

I freeze bread items all of the time. What I do is separate each half but leave them together loosely, keep them in their original wrapper and then wrap that whole thing in foil. That helps keep the bread from getting freezer burn and preserve the taste.

@goldensrbest Even the best ones do not seem to freeze well. I put each one in an individual baggie then put them all in a larger one and put in a container to keep them from being squished.

I save bread like that and then make bread crumbs out of them.

We use our hamburger buns as bread. They fit in the toaster and work well with any meal as a dinner bread. I have not enjoyed my frozen ones, but they are better than nothing. We buy heat and eat frozen hamburger patties from HEB. I will use a frozen one then.

You could go to those bread bins in the stores, and just get 1 kaiser roll, or whatever they have that you can buy in singles.

I rarely eat buns, but if I do, I like them fresh. I do freeze my rye bread, though, to take out 1 at a time.

I hear everyone loving frozen bread. It so easy and toasts up nicely. I know I am in the minority but I don't like the taste of frozen or refridgerated bread.

If you don't like to use a you would regular bread, (sandwiches, toasting as crutons or bread crumbs) feed them to the birds. Maybe not the whole package in one day. LOL.

If I did not freeze bread, buns I would be throwing out a lot of bread, which I refuse to do. Usually if allowed to thaw and get the bread to room temp, it's ok.

I have a Food Saver. I freeze my breads, rolls, hot dog & hamburger rolls.

When thawing out, I leave them on my kitchen counter until they are room temp. I never thaw in the fridge. Taste fresh as if I just purchased from the store.

I just leave them in the bag they come in, drop that into a freezer bag, and freeze. I try to use them up quickly, but if I fail, I simply use them to make homemade dressing. I actually have several bags of buns, leftover cornbread and leftover biscuits in the freezer waiting for use at Easter.

I freeze the bread we use for toast and grilled cheese sandwiches in the wrapper they came in. For hamburger buns, I freeze left overs, take out what is needed and place in a spare bread bag I've saved to thaw at room temp. I do grill the hamburger buns prior to using w/ hamburger patty and they come out soft and delish.

This is what my paramour do w/left over bread/buns/rolls:

He cuts them up

Moistens the pieces

Seasons them

Mix w/hands until season is all over the bread pieces.

Set aside for a few days until hard

Crush up the pieces (optional) & place in a sandwich bag.

He uses them on salads. He eats salads just about every day.

Home made croutons!

I was telling my husband about the leftover hamburger buns question. He admonished me for not remembering to tell you about his favorite leftover bun use. Open the bun, butter each half. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the buttered bun. Toast in the oven or a toaster oven.

We freeze two out of a package in separate small zip lock bags for emergencies. I can defrost one at a time or both when we want to make a quick heat and eat hamburger. Keep them in the freezer next to a package of precooked hamburger meat. I have misplaced them in the past.

I've made garlic bread out of mine after I have taken them out of the freezer.

I am in the same boat. I only need 1. I do not like thawed frozen ones. I break them all up pretty small and toss them on the grass for the birds and squirrels.

How do you keep your bread from getting smushed in the FoodSaver? I have one and never used it for bread.

@Mom2Dogs The version/model I have has a "gentle" speed. You use that speed for breads, cakes, etc.

Once the bag touches the soft food items that section stops yet, the FS continues to su¢k out the air of the empty pockets surrounding the soft food w/o crushing the soft food.

@Mz iMac Thanks, my food saver (from QVC) is old and not working up to par these days, I might have to invest in a new one!
