Thaw and Proof the Dough
1. Remove dough balls from the refrigerator and packaging. Place them in a clean dish or on a baking sheet in a warm area of your kitchen to proof. A warm oven may also be used if it does not exceed 110°F.
2. Allow dough to rise.
3. Let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. At room temperature, this typically takes at least 1 hour. If the dough is frozen, allow 3–4 hours at room temperature or about 1 hour in a warm oven. Proper proofing is essential to avoid dense, doughy waffles.
