How to Freeze Almost Any Baked Good

Most baked goods freeze beautifully; it’s just a matter of how you do it. Some things must be baked first, while others can be frozen raw and baked whenever you please. Take care to wrap everything tightly, squeezing out as much air as possible. For individually shaped raw doughs (like cream puffs or portioned-out cookie dough), freeze them on a baking sheet until they’ve firmed up before transferring to a zipper bag, so that they don’t stick together.
