Mommie_Jen Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I've made bread in my bread machine for a while now and have finally worked up the courage to try it without the bread machine. I found a recipie from Hillybilly Housewife with directions that don't scare me, but it makes 4 loaves. I can easily cut it in half and make 2 loaves, but I also want to experiment with freezing one of them before baking...so do I do that after the first rise or the second? Signed, A wanna-be in the kitchen department. :tongue_smilie: Edited July 16, 2012 by Mommie_Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Feel free to bake all the loaves THEN when they are completely cool freeze the ones you don't need to use immediately. I microwave loaves for a minute or two (usually straight out of the freezer) or you can heat defrost/heat them in the oven. If you microwave flip it over half way through the time, otherwise the bottom will be wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I bake 16 loaves at a time and freeze them when they are completely cool. I like to bake bread twice a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I bake them all, and then freeze. I wrap in plastic wrap, and then in an additional plastic bag. I'm able to re-use the plastic bags but not the wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) I prefer to shape and freeze before the second rise. Then let it thaw, have its second rise, and bake. Edited July 16, 2012 by LemonPie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
