Best 3 Some Uses For Frozen Bread Dough Recipes

PIZZA FROM FROZEN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• Let dough thaw overnight in the refrigerator (see here for other ways to thaw frozen dough). Pull it out and set it out on a counter for 30 minutes up a few hours before making pizza. When you're ready to shape and bake the pizza, preheat the oven to 450ºF.
• Divide the pre-made pizza dough into two. Shape each half into a ball. Use a floured rolling pin to shape the dough into a round crust. Or, shape it by hand by stretching it with your upturned hands to pull the dough from underneath in an outward motion.
• When the crust is the desired size, transfer it to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and a light drizzle of olive oil.
• Bake the bare pizza dough in the oven at 450ºF for 5 minutes. While it is baking, prepare your toppings.
• Once the dough is ready, take it out and preheat the oven to 500ºF. Add the sauce, dried herbs, cheese, and other toppings to the pizza crust, leaving a 1" edge around. Brush olive oil around the outer crust of the dough, then lightly sprinkle the edges with salt.
• Bake the pizza at 500º F for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the crust are golden. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before adding fresh herbs, then slice and serve.

BREAD BOWLS FROM FROZEN ROLLS

Steps:

• Place frozen rolls on a greased cookie sheet - you will need three per bowl. You don't need to place them super far apart because you'll be combining them anyways!
• Cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise for about five hours. I let them rise overnight and that worked well.
• Once they have risen, combine three of the rolls together and roll into a big, round ball.
• Place each ball back on the cookie sheet, brush with egg wash, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise 2-3 hours in a warm spot.
• Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, cut off the top of each bread bowl, and remove the inside of the bowl.
• Let cool and then serve immediately or store for another time.

FROZEN BREAD DOUGH

Steps:

• I sprinkle the yeast on the 4 cups water and add the 1/2 cup sugar and let the yeast work.
• In a large bowl or bread mixer mix powdered milk, 4 cups flour, salt and butter.
• Add the yeast water and mix (you can use an electric mixer) as you keep adding flour you will need to knead by hand (or use a bread mixer) Add flour until you get a stiff dough (you might not need all of flour, it depends on the moisture content of your flour) Knead for 15 minutes and then cover with a towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal balls.
• Smooth balls and place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
• Freeze balls until firm and then transfer to freezer bags and store in freezer.
• Recommended storage time 1 month.
• To Bake: remove frozen dough from freezer, open freezer bag and leave dough in bag to thaw or place on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap to thaw.
• It is very important to have a plastic covering over dough to thaw (dough really dries out without the plastic covering).
• (It usually takes about 4 hours to thaw) Shape into loaves or leave round or make pizza crust or rolls or whatever you do with freezer dough.
• Let rise until doubled (1 1/2 hours) Bake regular bread loaves at 350 for 35 minutes.
• I like to brush the bread loaf with 1 beaten egg and return it to the oven for 5 minutes.
