The overwhelming consensus is that if you want to freeze GF bread,
you should slice it as soon as it cools, then freeze it, then thaw it as you
need it in the microwave, not by just letting it return to room temperature.
Some people put wax paper between the slices to ease separation of
the frozen slices.

Other suggestions were: (1) Thaw in the microwave, and then finish in
the toaster.  (2) If freezing in a bag, squeeze out all the air.  (3) Don't
freeze in bag, because the slices get misshapened.  (4) Thaw in the
toaster as needed. (5) Wrap in Reynolds plastic-coated freezer wrap.
(6) Thaw in the microwave in a plastic bag (put the bread in the bag, not
the microwave).

Thanks to all!  By the way, those GF bread crumbs make great chicken
nuggets.

Finally, a tip for parents of celiac toddlers.  Since my daughter just
doesn't eat that much bread, I decided to take the tip about baking the
bread in those little 3x5 bread pans.  The resulting loaves make perfect
little kid sized sandwich slices.  She is actually eating her bread now.  I
think maybe she was intimidated by the big slices from an ordinary sized
loaf -- it was just too much bread.
