is it possible to freeze dough

[surge]

Hi

Is it possible to freeze dough,as i want to make a big batch and split it into cricket size balls as i reckon that should be enough to make a fair sized nan when rolled out.my idea is to just de froze what i need if thats possible.

Hi surge,

I think freezing the dough would be fine but, why not cook all your naan's then freeze them instead?  They can be defrosted in the microwave and come out really good.

Freezing dough is a great way to make in advance, especially if it is leavened as it proves when thawing. I always freeze what I don't use and just take out what I need to make in advance of when I need it.

and not forgetting that 12 dough balls take up alot less room in a freexer than 12 full naans lol

Good point Domi,

But I was thinking more along the lines of, whilst you've got the flour out and the rolling pin, get them all rolled out and cooked, then when you need one, it's just a case of, out the freezer, 1 min in the microwave and they are ready to eat, without all the faff

Hi Guys

Thanks for the help and advice on freezing the dough,but i pre cooked my nans the last time and de frosted them and popped them in the microwave but i found them to be a little bit hard and dry.( only put them in for a minute ) so thats the reason why i want to try doing them from the dough stage and cook them on a pizza tray in the oven hoping that they will be alot fresher,etc

Hi
I find wetting the surface, then for the micro enclosing, so they steam or place under pre heated grill.
