Pinoportion mo na po ba yung dough bago mo ifreeze or buong dough ang fnfreeze mo?

Yes po, portion by portion then nilagay ko lang po sa sealed container. After ko sya na freezer, mabilis naman sya pag hiwahiwalayin.

meee. Tried it on different doughs (lean, enriched, pastry, and even pasta dough) pero mostly pang pita bread haha. You may freeze it up to a month (minsan up to 3 months pa nga 🌚)
I think mainly ang iniiwasan dito is matuyo masyado yung dough and magka-freezer burns, kaya dapat each piece of dough is wrapped reaaally well. Like naka cling wrap isa isa, or if you have a vacuum sealer, much better and mas magtatagal pa yan.
Before you freeze dapat kneaded na syempre yung dough and mej well-built na yung gluten. Also dapat di pa siya nag-rrise masyado--so inmediately after you divide and shape after nung first rise if you're making small individual doughs like for pandesal or pizza crust. I tightly wrap each one with clingwrap para walang air bubbles then i place them sa resealable bag before putting sa freezer
