Bake your bread (if making homemade) and let it cool completely.
If you're slicing your bread, individually freeze the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
If you're freezing the entire loaf, place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet into your freezer for at least 2 hours.
Once the bread loaf or slices are frozen, store in a freezer bag.
Squeeze as much air out of the freezer bag as possible, and double-bag if possible.
When you're ready to eat your bread, thaw it overnight in the fridge.

Bread can stay in the freezer for up to 3 months.
