Freezing makes bread go stale more quickly.
I wonder whether you're inadvertently doing the "dunk" from condensation. Water migrates out of bread and into the wrapping (assuming that it's wrapped) when bread is frozen. It can be reabsorbed if left to thaw for awhile in a tight wrapper. Otherwise, bread from the freezer will be very stale.
That's not true. refrigerating bread makes it go stale. Freezing in a moisture-proof wrapper does not.
:agree:
Actually remember reading an article that explained why this is so, sometime mid-late '80s and have been freezing my bread products ever since (a quick zap in the microwave brings them back to warm, soft goodness)
