I had 5 lbs of frozen dough in the freezer. I took it out this morning and it’s still cold and didn’t rise at all. I never froze dough before. Will it rise?

I only froze already braided challah and it always rises. You should probably leave it in a very warm place uncovered. It may take hours to rise.

I have never needed a huge lump of dough to defrost and rise... But I regularly use the prebraided raw dough that I bake on my own. I put them on the tray thursday 11 pm. And leave it overnight. I put in the oven by 8 am. 9 hours! So im guessing for a huge lump of dough it would take even more time than that. Good luck!

If it's cold but not frozen, separate it and braid into challahs now. That will get things going and then you can rest a clean lightweight kitchen towel on top and allow them to rise.

Kineret gives a quick method for their frozen challahs. You preheat the oven to 150, then turn the oven off, then put a pot of hot water on the floor of the oven. Put the challahs on a cookie sheet and put it on a rack in the oven. After around 2 hours (sometimes less), the dough will have thawed and risen.
This is for braided challah, but I would think this could also work for a chunk of frozen dough.

And then higher oven temp and bake as usual?
