Categories     Breads

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 -13 cups bread flour (If I use some whole wheat flour, I use less flour)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salt
2/3 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder (powdered milk)
4 packages active dry yeast (I use 4 tablespoons especially with wheat flour)
1/4 cup soft butter or 1/4 cup soft margarine
4 cups very warm water

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.

Tips:

  • Always use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the quality of your bread. Use bread flour for a chewier texture and all-purpose flour for a softer texture. Make sure to use active dry yeast and warm water (105-115°F) to activate the yeast.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps develop the gluten and gives the bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. You can knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place to allow the yeast to work and the dough to double in size. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape the dough and freeze it: Once the dough has risen, shape it into loaves, rolls, or any desired shape. Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover it with plastic wrap, and freeze it for at least 2 hours.
  • Bake the frozen bread: When you are ready to bake the bread, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. Remove the frozen bread from the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes at room temperature. Bake the bread according to the recipe instructions, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.

Conclusion:

Freezing bread dough is a great way to save time and have fresh, homemade bread whenever you want it. By following these tips, you can freeze bread dough successfully and enjoy delicious, homemade bread whenever you crave it.
