    I just got around to clicking on this (glad you weren't telling me our house is on fire)--more good input from Kenji. My experience matches; I shoot for 5 days, 6 is too many, and I now might try 4. Thanks!

    When I’m ready to freeze I form into balls and then place each one in a clear plastic pint container similar to what you would get when ordering soup from a Chinese restaurant. I let them sit out for a few minutes until they expand a little and fill up the gaps before putting the lid and placing in the freezer. The containers are easy to stack in the freezer.

    As mentioned already I follow the recipe for the frig proofing but I've then frozen in a ZipLock bag for a few months with success. That's probably too long but it worked fine.

    The best way to get a round dough when stretched is to start with a round ball. If you have a large piece of dough and cut off a piece to stretch, it will be difficult to make it round unless you cut off a round hunk. So you should cut the dough into the desired weight before refrigerating and roll into balls. Then store in round containers so that it keeps it's shape. I learned this the hard way...

    This is an interesting look at what happens the longer you let it ferment in the fridge: https://slice.seriouseats.com/2010/0...d-ferment.html

    I go by Ken Forkish's "The Elements of Pizza" The refrigeration time depends on the particular recipe but his are typically 24 - 48 hours.
    For freezing I don't know what the limit is but I have kept dough balls (personal pizza size) in the freezer for several months. I just freeze them individually, then place in a freezer Zip Lock bag. When I want to use, I place however many I want in the refrigerator the day before. On cook day I remove the ball from refrigerator 1-1/2 hours before I am ready to cook.

    For me about 2 days seems to be the line...after that the dough is too proofed to rise very much. I'm usually making some kind of dough every couple of days at least... so it never reaches the freezer. Forkish has a Saturday White Loaf that I half, bake a loaf, and split the other half into 2 pizza's or focaccias. When I worked in the industry, the best crusts spent a day or 2 in the walk-in.

    Refrigerate? 5-7 days from when you make it (and it generally improves in flavor). Freeze? In a 0F freezer, pretty much indefinitely.

    Max Time To Refrigerate or Freeze Proofed Pizza Dough

    Web input differs on the max time one should refrigerate or freeze pizza dough. But all the real experts are here. I'd appreciate your advice, including how to package the dough for refrigerating or freezing. My go-to is a 62% dough (Stella Culinary's NY Style) if that's a consideration.
