Here is some input on Freezing Baked Food


Most people associate a freezer with meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. But to fried foods keep as much below zero. Make full use of your freezer this year by preparing cakes, cookies, cakes, snacks and even bread, ready for the busy Christmas period or parties. If you expect visitors, think of the convenience of having morning and afternoon tea is ready in advance. No fuss or bother, just items from your freezer to thaw to take whist you relaxed and your group of visitors to enjoy.

Cakes
Package unoccupied, un-cream cakes in plastic bags, properly sealed, label and freeze. It is advisable to protect them with a double layer of plastic. Cakes can be frozen into greased loaf pans. And wrap it securely and freeze. To bake, remove the packaging and place frozen pie in the oven.

Cream-filled pastries
Both the synthetic cream and fresh cream can be successfully frozen. If fresh cream is used, I leave it in the refrigerator after the flogging at least 2-3 hours, the water content to sit at the bottom of the bowl, then use it to fill cakes and sponges can. This method prevents a wet base on defrosting.

Ice cream cakes
Ice cream cakes to be frozen, then packed and sealed for storage in the freezer. Type of water ice tends to be very fragile after freezing. Synthetic glaze is very sticky. I suggest keeping a simple butter icing using any type of fruit juice (lemon, orange, grapefruit, passion fruit, etc.).

Easy butter icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon soft butter
1 tablespoon juice
Sift powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add softened butter and juice and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and light in texture.

Cookies
If the foundation recipes used, cookies may be successfully frozen or baked or unbaked dough. When baked, freeze movement method carefully package, properly sealed, label and store in freezer. Unbaked dough can be shaped into rolls or round a cylinder shape, then packaged and frozen. To bake, slice frozen dough thinly, as required on a baking sheet and bake according to recipe.

Savories
All kinds of delicious appetizers can be frozen or baked or unbaked. Let the type of filling your guide to how long to keep. Freezing of the containers for about two hours before the package to prevent crushing when stored in the freezer. Frozen snacks can be glazed with a little beaten egg and then placed in a hot oven (400 ยบ F, Gas No. 6), straight from the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Bread
All breads and muffins and freezing, in fact some of my friends insist that much better with freezing. But good packaging is used. Poor packaging will result in dehydration and a change in taste. Frozen slices of bread can be separated easily, while still frozen, which is a big advantage when small quantities are needed. As a whole, is much needed in a hurry, just preheat the oven and bake about 20 minutes. If not leave in a hurry to pack bread thaw at room temperature.

Unbaked bread dough can be frozen. Wrap well before freezing in can be used for baking. Thaw before baking.
