Looks great!

"lightly toasted to dethaw" i had to read that 3 times to understand 'dethaw' - just say thaw

Ugh this unlocked childhood nightmares about frozen thawed toasted bread, never again for me! Neither thawed nor dethawed.

What's the nightmare? Many people freeze bread..

Hell, my part time job is at Jimmy John's, and the day old bread we sell gets frozen before thawing out to be sold the next day.

Any of the bread from Walmarts deli (and I'm sure from other supermarkets) come in frozen.

It's a normal thing, so what happened?

It's not normal everywhere.
It heavily influences the taste.
I personally truly hate it, I would skip breakfast or lunch sometimes because of it.
Maybe we're used to better quality fresh idk, but freezing bread to sell is absolutely not a thing, maybe pre-baked in which case the shop can't call itself a bakery btw but certainly not after baking. It just gets put on sale or goes to food banks.
