The freezing rate also influenced the gas cells number and size. It was shown that increasing yeast in
frozen sweet doughs improved the overall quality of Kougelhopf compensating for the loss of yeast activity
during the freezing process. Kougelhopf produced from sweet dough with higher yeast content (DY)
presented a higher specific volume, whereas freezing rate increases its hardness. Sensory tests confirmed
that experimental results were detected by panelists
