Pre-bake Question, if I want to pre-bake my bread and then freeze it ( so I can quickly heat it up in the oven and finish banking it) How long would i have to bake the bread for? This way i can bake all 4 loafs at the same time, freeze 3 and quickly have fresh bread when i need it. :D To pre-bake (or par bake, in bakery terms) you'll want to bake the loaves until they are puffed and no longer look doughy, but are not browned yet. Remove the 3 loaves and finish the 4th in the oven. When the 3 are completely cool to the touch, wrap well, label and freeze for about 4 weeks. Preheat the oven and finish the bake when you are ready. Hope this helps! ~ MaryJane
