pizza dough

Hello,

        I have just made some dough for pizza. The same as i would a standard white loaf dough mix, using 100% bread flour.

I let it double in size, then knocked it about to deflate it, divided it in to portions and have frozen it..

What i would like to know is, after i defrost it, do i shape it then let it rise and then put toppings on?

or do i defrost let rise then shape and let rise again? Im a little confused being new to baking..

surley if i let rise then roll out ready for toppings, the yeast will deflate as i roll it, or flaten it into pizza shape?

Thankyou Phil

Hi there!

Dont expect your dough to rise to much after freezing, if at all. But frozen dough is good and I always try to keep some as back up.

Here is a link to our Pizza info, there are two links there you can check out.

Have a blessed day
