Cat72

Hi
Im really hoping you can help. I bought a bag offlour yesterday and put it in the freezer to get rid of weevils- as suggested here.Unfortunately I forgot to take it our until 10 minutes ago ,and I was supposed to be using it for making pizzza doug.
Will it be ok to use frozen or how can I quickly defrost it so its till ok to use and doesnt affect the dough.
A thousand thanks for anyone that can help .

I keep bread and all purpose flour in the freezer all the time.

I use plain flour for thickening gravy and I use it straight out the packet.

Is your frozen in a lump. As mine is still free flowing.

I wouldn't use it frozen if you are using yeast - it will stop it working as well as it should and you will end up with a frizzbee! If it was me I would warm it in the microwave in 30 second blasts to get it to at least room temp;)

i guess for making dough with yeast best to warm it through, assume you can pour it from packet? if so put the amount you need in the bowl you'll make the dough in, put some hot water in the sink and put the bowl on top to warm through, my gran used to warm flour in the bottom low oven of aga to ready it for making bread

Hi
Thanks for your replys. Yes its free flowing ok just cold feeling. I was worried about using it with the yeast when It is still cold.

I would sieve it a couple of times that should bring it up to room temperature
