That is a thing already.
You can ask for this in every supermarket or bakery in Austria.
I haven't seen it in my area. I very rarely eat bread, but now and then I just want a couple slices.
Freeze it. I grew up upper middle class, so the idea of freezing bread was mildly repugnant. Now I'm poor as fuck, and I can promise it doesn't make the slightest difference. Thaws quickly too.
Oh man, I thought it was middle class to freeze bread!
We'd buy nice bread from the store, organic/no preservatives, so it starts to told mold in 3-5 days unless you freeze it.
I got a standup freezer and it saves me so much money in wasted food and store trips. I buy like six loafs of bread at a time, split them up and freeze them. I just put a loaf in my kitchen cabinet before bed if I use the last slice of bread that day. Maybe my taste buds aren’t refined but I can’t tell the difference. I buy a lot of sliced turkey when it’s on sale also and just put them in the freezer. If I use it up I put another bag in the fridge and it’s ready the next day and tastes completely normal. I ended up getting a really nice chamber vacuum sealer from money I saved in groceries a couple months after the freeze paid for itself. Ended up getting a Sam’s membership and do the same with steak, hamburger, and all kinds of stuff really. It’s just me and my two boys full time but I cut my grocery bill from $1k+ a month to $600-$700 a month, making breakfast and dinner every day (they eat lunch at school). I know not everyone has the space and deep freezers are more efficient. I use the standup freezer daily and I always dreaded digging in the deep freeze I had before. It’s been a huge life improvement for us.
There is practically no difference unless you fully defreeze it in a microwave which will usually make it feel soggy. However you can get it mostly defrosted in the microwave, and finish the job in an oven, and it will basically feel like fresh bread
My freezer is tiny, only enough for some frozen veg. I don't wanna take up space with bread.
I do the same thing when I want bread I just throw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes and it is good to go
