Default Bread dough questions

I've tried it but it doesn't seem to rise as
well after it's been frozen (Let it rise once,
punch down, then freeze, then thaw and let rise
for the second time before baking. This is based
on the fact that the frozen bread dough you buy
has probably already risen once since they only
tell you to let it rise one time before baking.)

I also once tried it with unrisen dough and that
was an abysmal failure. Anyway - the frozen bread
dough you buy comes out great so I'm not sure why
mine isn't so great - okay, but not as good as
unfrozen. Wonder what, if anything, I'm doing wrong.
