This is a very late response but one thing I learned from the Master level Bread Courses that our technical College hosts every two years (it is a four day course in which they bring Master bakers from around the world - Peter Reinhart, Cyril Hitz and Didier Rosada to name a few) is that depending on where you are in the world freezing bread dough is one of the ways you can control fermentation (proofing). The decision you have to make is whether you are going to freeze after the first fermentation or after shaping and before baking off the dough. I tend to freeze sort of in between a complete first fermentation. So I mix the dough and let sit around for a while and than freeze it, to ensure proper rising I might add a titch more yeast (I also add a sourdough starter to all my recipes.) The trick is to allow the dough plenty of time to thaw before shaping and the final fermentation.
I have also frozen a bread dough after the first fermentation and shaping for 24 hours and pulled it out the night before baking it at 5:30 in the morning. The bread turned out beautifully.
Now a few facts which can affect this process 1. Generally, except in the summer, my kitchen is very chilly to begin with so proofing dough requires a lot more time, even if the dough isn't frozen. 2. I tend to make more European breads which are formulated to have longer fermentation times to develop better flavor and often these recipes incorporate refrigeration as a means of improving flavours (which means it is rare that you get bread made the same day from me.)
