Can you freeze the dough and bake it later? I'm new to this baking stuff... could you be specific in your answer please? Thank you. Yes, bread dough freezes fairly well for about 4 weeks or so. I'd let the shaped baguettes rise for maybe 30 minutes on a parchment-lined pan, then put the pan in the freezer. As soon as the loaves aren't tacky, cover with plastic wrap, and let freeze fully. Wrap VERY WELL in plastic, then in foil; each one separately. To bake, unwrap, put on a pan, and let thaw at room temperature, tented with greased plastic wrap. Then let rise fully, and proceed with the recipe. I'd think you could also let the loaves thaw in the fridge overnight; again, you'd want to unwrap them and put them on a pan, covered. Hope this helps - PJH
