Freezing Bread Dough
Anybody done this with success? Do you prepare the bread dough, shape, freeze and thaw before allowing to rise? Is it any less tasty to just bake the bread and freeze it?

frozen bread
Susannah--
I have not done frozen bread dough, but I make extra bread and freeze it all the time. I think it tastes great. The only thing is, of course, that it doesn't come out warm so that you can spread butter all over to melt. MMMM making me hungry. We use it for sandwiches and toast and I think it tastes just as good as fresh.

try it
the store I work at gets their bread frozen BEFORE baking.
The loaves are small,,at least half of the end size . They have them proof,,,thaw and rise in a warm area,,,then bake.
If you normally let the bread rise just once ,,I think maybe rise, punch down and shape then freeze.
try it
I'll Try It!
I'm going to try this today/tomorrow. I'll let you all know how things develop
Please Do, Joanna!
That's what I was wondering...whether to let it rise before freezing or not. We'll see how Joanna's experiment turns out!
I meant
I meant to say if you normally let the dough rise twice ...I would still let it rise and then punch down ,freeze,, thaw, rise and bake
Well, I Haven't Done Bread Yet
...but last night I froze my leftover garlic pizza crust (unbaked). I think thaw, rise and bake will work for that. It's a yummy crust, by the way!
Pizza Crust
With pizza dough, I have thawed in the fridge, rolled out, and baked with good results. It sort of "rose" in the fridge, but not like it would at room temp.
I'm still working on the bread, and will try to post tomorrow AM
