Just a little reminder.

Pisses me off to no end that they use the Canadian identity for marketing when they sold out decades ago.

Also their coffee and food has been shit for a long time too, coincidence? I think not.

people never know that our bread products are not fresh until they "catch" us putting the frozen products on the shelf.

I don't think you're fooling as many people as you think. Grocery store bread is absolute garbage. Like a packing peanut with a hard shell. Try real bread from a bakery sometime and get back to me.

Worked in a commercial bakery as well as a grocery store bakery. I promise you that bread can be heated from frozen and you would not know the difference. There’s a really good chance the bakery you are buying bread from contracts a commercial bread baker. Bread ovens are big and many don’t have the space for them and non-bread ovens for other stuff.

Like I said, if the bread/pastry tastes like shit it will taste just as shit fresh as it would frozen. Good bread/pastries frozen and dethawed properly lose an insignificant amount of quality.

Do an experiment. Take your fresh bread from a bakery, freeze it, thaw it out, and see how much the quality actually diminishes. I wager that it doesn't by much in most use cases. For example, making toast? You could not tell me you can tell a difference between a slice that was frozen versus one that was never frozen.

And, ofc, some pastries are not as forgiving when being frozen as others. But regular sliced bread, absolutely.

I wasn't saying you can't freeze bread, just that grocery store bread is garbage. I live in a town without a bakery. I take it personally lol
