Tips:

 

For quick thawing of dough, place each loaf of dough in a microwave safe dish and cover with plastic wrap or wax paper.  Place in microwave and cook on low or thaw settings (level 3 for 6 minutes in a 700w microwave) per loaf.  Rotate the dough every 3 minutes.

 

The dough may be thawed in the refrigerator overnight.  Remove dough from tray, leave it in plastic bag or put in plastic wrap.

 

For quick rising, place thawed dough in large greased bowl.  Grease the top of the dough with melted butter, margerine or spray shortening (this adds to the rising process).  Place in a warm oven (140 degrees) and let dough rise to double it's size.
