Breads

• Store-bought sliced bread: 6 months
• Bakery bread: 6 months
• Store-bought bagels: 6 months
• Frozen bread dough: 1 year
• Breadcrumbs: 6 to 8 months
• Homemade baked rolls: 2 to 3 months
• Homemade unbaked rolls: 1 month
• Tortillas: 3 months
• Pita bread: 3 months
• Naan: 3 months

Tip: One of the most efficient ways to freeze bread is to wrap it in two clear plastic bags and seal it tightly (zip-top freezer bags are good for this or vacuum sealing). To thaw, you can leave the bread out on the countertop at room temperature in its packaging.
