If you make dough, let it rise and then freeze it, do you have to let it rise again after you defrost it?!
Answers:
yes you sure do!. most bread needs to rise 2 times anyways to get the highest quality bread loaf!.
if you defrost a loaf of bread and bake it right away it most likely would not rise more and you would have something similar to a hokey puck!. when i worked with frozen dough in a bakery we defrosted the dough then put it in the proof box for the second rise to allow the yeast to do the magic on the bread and make a light and airy loaf of bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes! This reactivates the yeast and the synthesis of the creation of the gas bubbles that makes the finished product light and airy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
