  1. Becasue it defrosts from the outside in, as it defrosts the moisture evaporates, so none is left, the moisture from inside then move to the outside and evaporates too, leaving the bread dry. Also, there is very little excess moisture in the bread to start with anyway. All the water frozen is naturally in bread anyway. Strange Question . . . .


  2. If it's exposed to the air in the freezer, it WILL be wet & soggy when it defrosts.  You need to freeze it in a freezer bag, with as much air squeezed out as possible.  Frozen bread is either soggy or hard & dry when it's defrosted.  Best to just buy a fresh loaf when you need it, or get a bread machine and make your own.......

  3. there's no water in it.

  4. when you defrost it the water content on the bag or whatever you put it in can get condensationso the makes it soggy when  

  5. No, but don't leave it in there for weeks at a time, it will absorb odors. But it will be fresh when you take it out, not wet.
