Hi!
I've been using a bread machine regularly to make pizza dough.. and it's been great.. but my favorite recipe produces too much dough (enough for 2 very big pizzas). What do you recommend? can i put the rest of the dough in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer for a few days?
Yes. You can refrigerate the dough for several days or you can freeze it. Have you considered cutting the ingredients in half and simply making less dough?
"you can do either. the shops sell plain frozen, or chilled pizza bases.If freezing make sure the base is on something flat in the freezer as it will warp and then crack/split.
Make the leftover dough into a ball. Put it in a freezer bag. You can freeze it ffor up to three months. When you want to use it, put it into the fridge two days before you want to make the pizza, then bring it to room temp and proceed.
should the dough be frozen after all the rising/proofing, or right after kneading?
thanks, irax.
