The frozen dough can be defrosted by following the steps below:
- Use a microwave safe plate and spray with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- Place the frozen cookie dough on the plate.
- Cover with microwavable plastic wrap.
- Microwave for 10 seconds on the defrost or 30% power setting.
- Check the defrosted dough.
The most important thing to remember when thawing your cookie dough, whether shortbread-style or drop cookies, is to place it in the fridge. Do not thaw at room temperature, as this will encourage bacteria growth from the eggs in the cookie dough.
What is the fastest way to thaw frozen dough?
Defrost any type of dough using a microwave, a fridge, or an oven. If you’re in a hurry, the microwave is your best bet to quickly defrost your dough. The fridge will take the longest but requires the smallest amount of effort. Using the oven will ensure a thorough thaw but takes much longer than the microwave.
When baking frozen cookie dough, you do not have to thaw the cookie dough. Simply place the frozen, pre-scooped cookie dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 2-3 minutes longer than the original recipe recommends.
There’s no need to thaw frozen drop cookie dough in order to bake your cookies — in fact, we don’t recommend it. Take the dough balls straight from the freezer and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to space them however your recipe indicates to allow for some spreading.
How long does it take dough to defrost?
Instead, frozen pizza dough needs to be taken out from frozen and then defrosted in the refrigerator for ten to twelve hours. If you don’t have that much time, setting the dough out on a counter and allowing it to defrost at room temperature for two hours should also be plenty of time.
Merrill recommends putting dough near a warm stove, and pounding it with a rolling pin once it starts to soften. Trena cuts the dough into smaller pieces using a pastry cutter, figuring that they will come to room temperature faster.
Once the dough has chilled, let it warm up at room temperature until it’s just pliable ( about five to ten minutes ); letting it get to be too warm will defeat the purpose of chilling the dough at all.
How do you unfreeze dough?
Microwave on the defrost setting for 1 minute, then flip and repeat the thawing process on the other side for another minute. Let it sit on the counter at room temperature to allow the yeast to rise. Easily defrost dough in a microwave if you don’t have much time and need to prepare the pizza quickly.
How do you speed up frozen dough?
The quickest way to thaw frozen bread dough is in the microwave. Spray a microwave-safe plate with nonstick cooking spray and place the dough directly on the plate. Microwave on the defrost setting, uncovered for three to five minutes. The dough may still need some time to rise, depending on the type of dough you have.
How do you let frozen dough rise?
Wrap the dough around and place seam-side-down on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Cover with a dish towel or greased plastic wrap. Let rise for about 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place frozen cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12-13 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks and cool completely.
