Study on the Freezing Conditions for the Frozen-Dough Preparation of Bread

냉동생지 제조를 위한 냉동조건 탐색

In order to investigate the optimal factors for frozen dough production, the freezing and thawing condition such as temperature and time, storage period and the effect of ingredient addition were determined. A pre-fermentation of dough at 30℃ for 120 minutes was appeared to be the best for the production of frozen dough. The dough was frozen at -18℃ and then stored for 7 days. The quality of frozen dough was found to be optimal when thawed at 30℃ for 80 minutes. As ingredient of frozen dough, an addition of 3% of yeast and 4% of butter was good as well as the addition of skim milk and sugar in terms of fermentation capacity after thawing.
