I see no reason why not. I used to regularly freeze small quantities of fresh bakers yeast (which is essentially the same species of yeast). A small quantity, say an ounce, wrapped tightly in aluminum foil could be kept for months in the deep freeze. Placed in warm water with a tiny amount of sugar it soon recovered and began fermenting.

The best bakeries swear by chilling or freezing their baked goods, then baking at a high temperature to produce the best texture. The problem is that this method doesn't work for all baked goods, let alone ones straight out of the freezer.

Can you save yeast dough that has already risen?
Yes, but make sure it is in the refridgerator. If you are saving it for a long time, pop it in the freezer.
What is the boiling point of baker's yeast?
Boiling points apply to liquids. Baker's yeast is used in either powderd or cake form. It is dissolved before being mixed into dough, and then after the dough has risen, it will be baked. But the yeast is not brought to a boil at any time in the bread baking process.
How can you tell the Dough has fully risen?
you can tell once it starts to become brown, but not all bread rises those are messed up yeast
What is knocking back a dough?
"Punching down" dough is said in reference to the part of the process in making yeast-levened bread where, after initially set aside to rise, the dough is "punched down" and deflated in order to redistribute the air bubbles created by the yeast.
What is rolled-in yeast dough?
Yeast dough is dough (basically a mixture of flour, water, salt) to which yeast (a form of fungi) has been added to cause the dough to 'rise', add in dimension by filling the dough with carbon dioxide given off by the yeast. Dough without yeast does not expand.
Is yeast in dough like yeast in your body?
no its not
Why bread dough rises?
The yeast cells in bread dough ferment sugars and produce gas (carbon dioxide). This makes the dough rise.
What is leanvend bread?
leavened bread is simply also known as "risen bread". This is by the active yeast in the dough causing reactions that make the loaf double in size during the proofing process.
Explain what the rising dough indicates?
Yeast dough will rise when the dough has active yeast, sugar, and is held at the right temperature. The rising is caused by carbon dioxide that is formed from the yeast as it breaks down sugar.
Why does bread rise when yeast is added?
Yeast is added to bread along with moisture and sugar, and the dough is kept in a moist, warm environment. During this rising time, the yeast consumes the sugar in the dough and release CO2 gas, which is trapped in the dough and causes the dough to rise. When the dough is baked, the yeast is killed, but the bubbles created by the gas remain.
What ingredients give dough its strength?
Yeast. The correct answer, is yeast.
Can you freeze yeast?
Yes, you can safely freeze yeast. It will keep it fresh longer.
