Q&A for How to Defrost Bread

Just leave it out for a while (like a few hours) before you eat the sandwich or burger.

Assuming there are no eggs in the bread, a day would be fine. But for future reference, it is always best to defrost frozen items in a fridge overnight.

Using a spray bottle, spray a small amount of water on it and bake it in a 375 degree oven until a crust is formed on the outside and it is soft and steamy on the inside.

You could. Take a spray bottle and spray water on the bread. Pop it in the oven at 375 degrees until golden brown (the outside should be crusty, but the inside should be warm and soft).

You don't have to eat it right away, but it will get moldy sooner (even in the fridge). Just keep an eye on it and try to use it quickly. If you have a large amount that you don't think you'll get through within a week or so, try making a recipe that calls for lots of bread, such as bread and butter pudding.

Yes, you certainly can. Many people prefer to toast or at least heat defrosted bread, because it can have an odd texture otherwise.

Baking is a fine science and there could be many reasons why. The two most common reasons for this, however, are using too much yeast, and allowing the dough to rise for too long before you place it in the oven. Try using a little less yeast (and check that you are converting between kinds of yeast properly - active dry yeast, cake yeast, and instant yeast, etc are all different). If that doesn't help, cut back on the amount of time you let the dough rise before you put it in the oven.
