Urgent help please, bread!Urgent help please, bread!HELP!!! I am making dough in my breadmaker, which means it has its first proving before the cycle ends. When I get it out of the machine, I then have to shape and prove again.
I have just realised that the oven in my microwave is going to be far too small - is there any way I can freeze the remaining dough? If so, at what stage? Thanks Helen xx

Re: Urgent help please, bread!Thinking logically, it is the yeast in the dough that makes it rise so wouldn't freezing the dough kill the yeast?
Thinking laterally, if the microwave is too small to bake all the dough at once, couldn't you bake two or more batches and freeze what you can't use today? Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: Urgent help please, bread!Thanks Dom - I did that and now have 8 rolls in the freezer to go with a large batch of soup I also made today

How does your bread baked in the microwave oven turn out? We have a microwave with oven but I wouldn't have thought it would get hot enough to bake bread. I always bake ours in the normal oven which we can get really hot, which is what you need at the start of a bake. Apparently, you can bake bread on top of the stove in a Dutch oven, again it is a case of getting it nice and hot at the start of the bake. Michael
Re: Urgent help please, bread!I have a conventional oven and grill in my microwave. Best thing I ever bought as I have no proper cooker in the summer when my Rayburn is out The only thing I need to sort is a hob. I do miss it

Re: Urgent help please, bread!Helen, I have a bread question
If i put it in the bread maker to make the dough, and leave it to rise in there, I take it out, and then do i shape it and pop it straight in the oven to cook? Or do i need to leave it to rise more before i cook it? [center]Happy to have shown Titchy Clucker a little corner of France[/center]
Sara XxX Re: Urgent help please, bread!You shape it, then leave to rise again for about 25 mins. Then bake.
Have to say the rolls turned out really well Helen xx
