Yes making dough is quite a serious task and requires a dose of skill and patience. Every cook has their own way of kneading dough.
However, some people do not know how to properly store dough in the refrigerator and how long it can last in it. Both yeast-free dough and dough, which contains yeast, can be stored in the refrigerator.
How to store dough in the refrigerator:
If you follow the rules described in the following lines and do not extend the shelf life, storing dough in the refrigerator is completely achievable.
Before you put the finished dough for storage in the refrigerator, it should be very well kneaded. This will also help to remove carbon dioxide from the dough.
When ready, sprinkle it with flour and place it in a bowl, which is covered with cling film. Holes need to be made in the cling film, so that air can enter through them.
In general, a well-kneaded dough can last several days in the refrigerator. If you put the dough in plastic bags and grease it with oil, it can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days and this will not affect its taste at all.
After this time, the dough begins to lose its elasticity and oxidizes, so it is not a good idea to keep it in the refrigerator for long.
Once you have made your dough, do not hesitate to prepare:
- a homemade pizza;
- fluffy rolls;
- or our favorite quiche;
