Can I Freeze Bread Dough?
- To freeze bread doughs always use dried active yeast and double the amount. Do no freeze doughs made with Easy Bake yeast.
-
You can freeze bread dough after mixing and kneading, allow it to defrost at room temperature and that will be the same as a first proving.
-
If the bread dough has been risen and shaped it can also be frozen, allow to defrost in the fridge, then bake.
-
Always cover the dough with a thick freezer bag, or double bag it.
