Bonus Question: Can the dough be put in the freezer?
Theresa responds: “I haven’t tried, but I would say yes. I would let it rise the first time, then separate it into the two balls and then freeze it like that. That way when you need it, you would just take it out and let it rise the second time and then bake it.”
