Default Help, Freezing Breads?

Apricot/Almond, Banana Walnut and Cheddar Cranberry (fresh, NOT
craisins!) The gift was one loaf of each bread with the recipe.
Everybody was very happy - especially with the recipes!

Oh, thank you so much! Your quick answer and advice are greatly
appreciated. I will begin this week on evenings after work and be
able to plan baking each evening for all of the loaves for each
recipe. I have a difficult time with my legs and lower back during
long kitchen standings, well learning with last year's many loaves and
far too many dozens of cookies to give up bare feet and wear good
tennie-bops while on my feet so long. Knowing I could freeze cookies
without any quality loss, I did all my baking during two weeks off
before Christmas, saving the breads for last. Family has been warned,
Nana does only breads this year! Mixing the doughs to be putting
trays in and out of the oven every ten minutes or so for cookies is
far too hard on me. I've opted to bake only the breads, beyond the
two cookies demanded by daughter and gran, which are Maple Pecan
Butters ones and Snickerdoodles.

I will be baking well over twice as many loaves as last year's 34, and
I have stocked my pantry with plenty of KAF's bread baking papers and
"tins" to accomodate. It sounds like I would like to include your
recipes, may you share? Once I have decided on each of the breads I
will bake this year, some of which are a "Nana, please, please make
every year...no, every months just for me!!" credit to other rfc-ers,
I will post as well. My family, their friends, my Marines and several
of my neighbors and local shop owners were quite pleased last year.

Thank you again, Picks
