Notes

  • Yes it can be frozen once it has risen. Place the dough in a freezer safe container or bag. Although it is best to use it within two weeks, or else it won’t rise well when baking. Thaw the dough in the fridge the night before, then let it sit at room temperature for about 2-3 hours before baking.
  • Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated, it will keep for up to 3-4 days. You can re-heat it in the oven or in the microwave. Be sure not to leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours.
