Hi all,

So I'm doing experiments to see how 'effortless' I can make fresh sourdough.

I have a dream - and maybe this can't be reality - of doing the cold ferment in a baneton, then transferring that to the freezer for long-term storage.

Has anyone managed to freeze a fully-proofed loaf before baking?

Lots of interesting reading for you: https://breadtopia.com/freezing-sourdough-bread-dough/

For a super lazy approach the most common method isn't even in the list above - parbake

Oh this is GOLD! Thank you!

If we were in that old site, and we had those karmic awards, I’d absolutely invest in some for you!
