If it's ok, then how do you thaw the loaf without the bread becoming soggy?

Yes, you can freeze fresh bread. Let it thaw at room temperature on a surface that is not solid (dish drainer). The bread will not become soggy.

If you have a frozen unsliced loaf and want to thaw it, pull it from the freezer at least 2 hours before you need to use it. Do not try to accelerate the thawing by putting it into the oven or microwave. This will only dry it out. Of course, in an emergency, when you have to get bread on the table and have forgotten to thaw it in advance, you can quickly thaw it in the microwave or in a hot oven. The best way to prevent it from drying out is to place it under a wet towel. Heat the oven to 400°F, place the bread in a pan, and cover the pan with a towel that has been soaked in warm water and then wrung out. Check on the towel every 10 minutes to see if it needs rewetting. It should take 20 to 30 minutes to thaw out a standard-sized loaf, 10 to 20 minutes for a baguette. If you want to restore a crackly crust to the bread, remove the towel for the final few minutes and turn the oven up to 450°F.
Bread Storage Dont’s
Don’t store bread in the refrigerator. It dries out, even when packaged in sealed plastic bags.
Don’t store crusty breads in plastic bags or in plastic wrap unless you plan to recrisp the crust in the oven.
Don’t store soft, enriched breads in paper bags unless you intend to dry them out for bread crumbs or croutons.
Don’t store any bread that you intend to dry for crumbs in plastic bags or plastic wrap. If the moisture cannot escape, the bread will eventually mold.
Don’t store warm bread in plastic bags or plastic wrap. Wait until it has completely cooled down (no warmth at all), to prevent condensation from forming in the bag and thus accelerating mold development.

Yes, it's ok to freeze bread. We do it all the time because we buy in bulk. It won't get soggy as long as you thaw it long enough. The water will evaporate and the bred will be just fine.

It won't be soggy when it thaws. I've been freezing fresh loafs of breed my whole life. You just take it out, and sit it on your kitchen counter and it will un-thaw and be fluffy and fresh like when you froze it. It's never gone soggy on me. Ever.

thats awesome to put bread in a freezer because even though it's frozen, the bread would last longer than usual if it was kept in the refrigerator

Yes, it's okay to freeze bread. I do it all the time. I toast the bread rather than let it thaw.
