Instruction manual
1
Try to defrost the dough in the refrigerator. To do this, simply put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator and leave it overnight.
2
You can defrost yeast dough at room temperature. This process will take about 4 hours. First, the dough must be removed from the packaging. Put the frozen dough on a silicone mat or cutting board and leave it in the room.
3
Put the frozen yeast dough in a plastic bag and dip in warm water. So you can defrost the dough for a shorter period of time.
4
Take advantage of the microwave. Place the dough in it and select the defrost function. If this function is not provided, set the power to not more than 100 watts. Turn the dough from time to time and monitor its condition. The yeast dough must be removed from the microwave before it warms up.
5
Note that the safest method for the quality of the dough is the natural way of defrosting, i.e. in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Therefore, if time permits, try not to use a microwave and warm water for defrosting purposes.
note
Store frozen yeast dough only in the freezer at a temperature not exceeding -18 degrees. Under such conditions, the dough will remain usable for 3-6 months.
Useful advice
Buy frozen dough only in stores that have the necessary conditions for storing this product. When choosing this semi-finished product, pay attention to its hardness. The dough should be very hard. So you will be sure that it is stored at a suitable temperature and does not defrost. The presence of blisters indicates the secondary freezing to which the product was subjected. Try to purchase goods from trusted, reputable manufacturers.
