Bread

[Lilian]

I find if you wrap it well it keeps very fresh for more than a few weeks. I have never waited for it to defrost. If it is for toast it goes straight into the toaster (I do have a defrost setting though). If I am making a sandwich, I spread the soft butter (I always keep some out in a butter dish) on the frozen bread and it hardens up, and by the time I have put the filling in, cut it and put it on a plate it is almost completely defrosted and left for a couple of minutes completely ready to eat. I have been doing this for years, with all kinds of bread.

If you leave it in for months, it tends to dry out at the top and go soggy underneath, but a week or two is fine, it comes out fresher than if you'd kept it a couple of days in a bread bin, and definitely fresher than if it's been in the fridge. Put the slices you're defrosting in a plastic bag, though, else they dry out while they're defrosting if open to the air. (If I'm toasting it, I do it from frozen)

I've just been buying the little loaves but I mite try freezing it then I won't be tempted to eat more .

I freeze as I stock up and put in freezer. Take out the whole loaf. I eat 2-4 slices a day.

I tried one of the Lidl protein rolls today with cheese, and didnt get any spike 2 hours laters. Going test having two tomorrow.

Ive read some people test 1 hour after eating, is 2 ok. Dont want miss any hidden spikes.

I've tested Lidl rolls at 1, 2 & 3 hours. I found it peaked at 2 hours. Same with Burgen.

I seem to need a multiwave bolus for Lidl rolls, equivalent to the total insulin I would use for two Small Burgen slices but spread over 4 hours. That must be my system converting the protein I guess.
