Homemade freezer bread dough- no rise?!
Homemade freezer bread dough- no rise?
All the recipies of homemake bread dough that you freeze for later use involve thawing and rise-time after you take them out.
I can buy dinner rolls out of the tube, or frozen cinnamon rolls in the aluminum pan that you pop from freezer to oven.
Why do these not have to rise?
What is the seceret?
Do they already do all the hours of rising previous to freezing?
I can't see that working as the dough would fall- wouldn't it?
Answers:
The biscuits aren't frozen but the cinnamon rolls are small enough that they defrost and rise enough while cooking takes place. The bread is to thick and needs a longer rise time.
The 'store bought' things that you can take from the freezer and bake 'frozen' are 'raised differently' than the 'homemade' bread dough that you can freeze but must 'raise' before you bake it. My husband is a retired chef, and he buys the 'frozen bread dough' from the store, even for things like 'pizza crust' because it's so much 'easier' and better than the 'homemade' stuff that you can 'freeze' and then let rise. I don't know 'why' you can just 'toss them into the oven' from the freezer, but I think it may have to do with how 'fast' they can freeze things with a 'flash freezer' so the bread doesn't 'fall' ...
