If they’re making actual yeast dough balls you can’t make that to order. You need to prep them and put them in the fridge and if the proof time is too long then they go in the dumpster. If they were hoping for a rush and didn’t get it for whatever reason that could be a lot of dough balls. And when we’re talking about one of the cheapest inputs in the whole system, doing too much prep is much preferable to doing not enough. Losing a $10-$20 pizza sale because you were worried about a 20 cent waste product is poor business.
I agree, but man flour has gone up. It’s probably around $1 for the 3 cups of flour and yeast to make a dough now. Even still, their losses are minimal compared to what they expected to make. Wish they’d just bake the over proofed bread and send it to a shelter though. May not be the best bread but just roll it into loafs real fast and it’ll taste fine
You can but then you need to thaw it to get it ready, which defeats the purpose in many operations. Like I’ve been turned away from grocery store pizza because they hadn’t thawed their dough balls yet and I found such a situation absurd.

Can you freeze it?
