Can I freeze bread dough? Or part baked bread?

[HuevosRancheros]

Hi,

I'm making rolls, the recipe makes 10-12; they will go stale before we get through them all.

Can I freeze the dough once I've shaped it into rolls? Or should I part-bake them? Or do I have to completely bake them and then freeze?

Thanks :)

yes, you can :)

bollocks - in full, you can freeze them raw.

Thanks :)

Think you might need to increase the yeast if freezing the dough. Don't think it rises as much if you don't. Sorry, can't remember by how much.

I feel I asked for your help unnecessarily, sorry.

When I made the rolls, the dough only made 8 - I obviously made them a bit too big. So I thought I'd just bake them, and freeze any that we didn't eat.

We ate them all in the same day

Then I made another batch the next day. All gone

Think I will be making bread this way, from now on - mix dough in machine and then bake in oven. Divine

I did this the other day. Everything I read said you should double the yeast as the freezing process kills some of it but I forgot and when it came out the freezer (having been proven before it went in the freezer) it grew like a motherf*cker. I've never seen bread rise so much!

But I agree, it is almost impossible to make your own bread and not eat it all at once!
