The best way to freeze and thaw bread dough for later use is as follows:

1. Make the dough according to the recipe instructions and allow it to prove[1].
2. Knock the dough back, shape it into rolls or a loaf, and freeze it on a lightly greased baking tray or loaf tin[1].
3. Once frozen, remove the dough from the tin/tray, wrap it tightly in cling film or seal it in a freezer bag, and date the wrapped dough[1]. Consume the dough within 6 months[1].
4. When you're ready to use the dough, remove the packaging, place it on an oiled baking tin/tray, and cover it with a damp tea towel[1].
5. Allow the dough to thaw and rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size and is light and puffy[1].
6. Be careful not to overprove the dough. Bake the bread according to your recipe instructions, but you may need to bake it slightly longer (by an additional 10-15 minutes)[1].

Remember to store the dough in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ensure the best quality when thawing and baking.
