Since olden times in the Urals and Siberia freshly baked bread was frozen, and, as needed, warmed up the loaves in the Russian oven. The bread again became soft, ruddy, with an appetizing crisp crust.

It turns out that bread hardens the fastest at a temperature of +2 degrees. This is the temperature on the top shelf of the refrigerator where most of us store bread.

For long-term storage of bread, the temperature is best of -25 degrees. And as needed, put the frozen bread in the oven for ten minutes, but in a tightly closed saucepan, and you get fragrant hot bread. And if you don’t want to bother with heating, just without removing the plastic bag, put the bread on the table, and in two hours it will be ready to eat. You can freeze bread by cutting it into pieces. Then, when defrosting, you take as many slices of bread as you need.

You can always dry rusks from stale bread, which can then be used with broth, soup, etc. Store crackers in clean linen bags, and you can always use them for breading, making jelly, casseroles and kvass.
