I bake a loaf of bread about every 10 days. After the loaf has cooled, I slice whatever is still there, separate the slices with wax paper, put the sliced loaf in a zip lock bag, suck out the air with a straw, zip it closed and throw it in the freezer. The next day, I take the slices out of the bag and vacuum seal each slice individually. Because the bread is frozen solid, the vacuum does not turn it into a tortilla. Back in the freezer. Anytime I want a slice of toast, I pull a package out of the freezer, cut it open and toss the slice in the toaster. I usually let it defrost for about five minutes, but, as you point out, it can be toasted immediately. No freezer burn, and it toasts wonderfully.
