ABSTRACT
The impact of pre-fermentation time and freezing rate on Sangak frozen dough and bread quality were studied. The pre-fermented doughs for 0, 30, 60, 90, or 120 min were frozen under –20, –25, or –30°C in air blast freezer. After 24 h storage at –18°C, dough samples were baked after final fermentation. The yeast viability, gassing power, and dough development for fresh and frozen Sangak doughs were determined. Crust color, density, and shear stress of bread obtained from fresh and frozen Sangak dough were evaluated. The results showed that yeast survival initially increased and then decreased with increasing freezing rate. The maximum yeast survival was observed at short pre-fermentation (30 min). A direct relationship was observed between gassing power, dough development, and yeast viability. From bread quality point-of-view, short pre-fermentation and higher freezing rate led to a more desirable bread.
