How much dough is too much? Maybe you are baking for two people instead of four? Or, perhaps you have had to use up some left-over ingredients? Well, the answer is, yes, you can freeze dough, but there are one or two things that you must ensure that you do.
This article is going to tell you what those things are. People are always asking us, can you put dough in the freezer? You definitely can freeze bread dough!
This is really convenient as it means that you are taking up less space. Further to this, by preparing a huge batch of dough in advance, you can save time in the future.
But there are a few little tips and tricks for freezing dough. Unless you are making unleavened bread, you are going to be using yeast as a raising agent. Yeast is made up of tiny little organisms.
When you feed yeast, it eats whatever sugars you have in your dough and expels a tiny little bubble of carbon dioxide. For the bubbles to work effectively, they need to be trapped in the structure of your dough.
We build this structure up by developing the gluten in the dough. Imagine it like a piece of chewing gum. At first, the gum is hard without much shape, but it will turn all soft and stretchy after you chew it. Baking bread is a long and complex process: weighing the ingredients, kneading the dough, letting it rise and many more steps up until the perfect loaf. When you finally reach the stage that your bread is ready to go in the oven, there is a chance you are tired or have some other commitment requires your attention or maybe you prepared a big portion of dough and would like to freeze a portion of it.
You will have to compensate for this by adding more yeast to your recipe. Even if you add the extra yeast there are some drawbacks to freezing bread dough but it is certainly possible. In this article, we will discuss how to go about freezing your dough, at which stage you should freeze it and, how to proceed with the baking process after thawing out your dough. I would recommend you freeze bread dough for up to 60 days.
You have probably read many articles stating you can freeze the dough for 6 months to a Year. While this is true it is not recommended to do so in a home freezer. A home freezer temperature fluctuates frequently due to opening and closing the freezer door all the time.
This opening and closing of the freezer door along with fluctuating the temperature also introduce moisture to the freezer and can create water crystals forming on your dough. These crystals can eventually lead to freezer burn and will ruin your dough.
TIP: Make sure to write the date on your bags. This way you will know how old the batch of dough is and how long you got before it goes bad. As mentioned in the opening of this article. This is not the only effect freezing has on your dough. Doughs made with Rye flour, for example, have a lower gluten content in them so they would not fare well in the freezer. More References 8.
