Crazy Dough Recipe for Pizza, Cinnamon Rolls, and More!
Ingredients:
4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (240ml) warm milk (110°F/45°C)
2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the egg, melted butter, and yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.
Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 60–90 minutes or until doubled in size.
Use as Desired:
Pizza Dough: Roll out, add toppings, and bake at 475°F (245°C) for 12–15 minutes.
Cinnamon Rolls: Roll out, spread butter, cinnamon, and sugar, then roll up, slice, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes.
Dinner Rolls: Shape into balls, let rise again for 30 minutes, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes.
Enjoy! Brush with butter for extra flavor and serve warm.
