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:

1. Activate the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.

2. Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Add the egg, melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
Mix until a rough dough forms.

3. Knead

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
(Or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5 minutes.)

4. First Rise

Place the dough into 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.
