Abstract: Methods and systems to prepare yeasted dough products, such as breads, include inhibiting yeast activity prior to a first rise, conducting the first rise over an extended rise time, inhibiting yeast activity between the first rise and a second rise, and conducting the second rise over an accelerated second rise time. Inhibiting of yeast activity may include maintaining one or more of a liquid ingredient and a dough at a relatively cool temperature. The first rise may include maintaining the dough at a relatively cool temperature to restrict or retard yeast activity. Inhibiting of yeast activity prior to the first rise and/or retarding yeast activity during the extended first rise may improve one or more of flavor, aroma, texture, and appearance of a resultant baked good.
