If I made the dough to the point of mixing it, weighed it into balls and then froze the balls, would there be any adverse affects on the product?

      Drake,

      Good call on this. It does work, but it's a good idea not to leave them in there for months. A few days to a week works just fine. Might be as wise with high hydration doughs to mist the insides of the bags with spray oil before putting them away.
