My Dough isn't rising or didn't prove after I defrosted themUpdated 8 months ago

If you're dough hasn't risen during your resting time, this can be normal depending on the type of vessel you are using to rest it in. 

We have done al the proving for you, so don't worry about that. 

You want your dough ball to spread out unless it is in a tight container like our proofing containers. This is normal due to the high hydration we use in our dough balls, this is what will give your dough balls a light and airy crust when you come to bake it. 

We recommend watching this video which explains the final rest, after you have defrosted your dough and how to press it out.
