Freezing bread dough

Can pizza dough be frozen twice? I made the dough, put it in the freezer. Took it out 2 days later, rolled it out, put topping on .... then no-one wanted pizza so I put it back in the freezer. Only afterwards did I think that perhaps I shouldn't have frozen it again. So now don't know if it would be safe to eat. Should I get it out of the freezer and bin it?

There isn't anything much in the dough to go off assuming this is a basic pizza dough with just flour, yeast, water and salt, so it shouldn't be a huge problem. Yeast may not play very much, so could be a bit heavy, but it shouldn't do any harm. I would eat it (but I do reckon I must have an indestructible digestive system after years of experimental cooking).

I have just bought breadmaker and want to know, if I make pizza dough in it, do I need to let it proove again once I have taken it out of the machine before making the pizza or is it fine to use straightaway?

I ask this because my book for my Pansonic breadmaker say's 'once removed proove the dough once more' and I don't know why - is it really necessray?

Can I freeze dough from my breadmaker? For example I love making my own naan bread but it takes 2hrs20 to make, so could I make the dough and freeze it straight away and just get out the morning of the evening I want to use it and then cook as normal?

Hi shakemeup,

We have a recent thread on freezing dough, so I have merged your thread with it as it makes it easier for Old Style readers to find all the replies together. As always the posts are listed in date order so you will have to read from the beginning to see all the replies.

Hi,
I've got a couple of questions if i may ...
Can i freeze dough from my BM then just cook when i'm ready for it? Otherwise have to either makes loads of rolls at the beginning of the week or make dough during the week and don't have time cos i work FT.
Also was thinking of making some shortbread this weekend (made flapjacks & lemon cakes last weekend which went down a treat ) any good recipes which are easy enough to make with DD ?
Thanks in advance
Lou.

Hi Lynzpower,
Its a cookworks (got it off freecycle).
DD 10 so not really little but trying to get her more involved in my old style efforts (as she spends too much time watching cartoons).
