I dont have much time to baking bread over the weekdays so my only time to do so is during the weekend. I was wondeirng after which step I could freeze the dough to bake it on another day? For example, can I mix the ingredients/make the dough and freeze it (before fermenting), thaw it and let it ferment, punch it down and freeze it, thaw it and let it rise and bake it?
Sort of like this:
Monday: make dough and freeze it
Tuesday: thaw it, let it ferment and freeze it
Wednesday: thaw it, let it rise and bake it
Will flavor be affect in a negative way? Texture?
You can just refrigerate it. It will be fine.
Ah thank you for the information. I dont have a schedule per say and the 3 days was just an example.
But if I were to store the dough (let's say I made too much) for a longer period, say 1 week, I can freeze it before the first rise or after?
Thank you for the information.
