super easy dough

This is a super easy way to make any thing from bread to cinnamon rolls to super pizza dough.  I wanted to find a way to make dutch oven bread, because I love to cook in dutch ovens.  I found this dough receipe on  Alton Brown's web site.  The bread turned out great, so I made another batch and let it sit on my counter for a few days and began thinking of different ways to use it.  So, here it goes.  This is how to make the dough.  First, in a large bowl put 4 to 6 cups of organic unbleached flour.  Next, put in one tablespoon of RED STAR yeast. Next, put in one tablespoon of kosher salt.  Now mix all of these together.

So,
-4-6 cups organic unbleached flour
-1 tablespoon yeast (I think Red Star is the best)
-1 tablespoon kosher salt

Next, using a rubber spatula mix in filtered water a little at a time until you have a wet dough mixture kind of gooey and sticky.  Cover with plastic wrap or a clean shower cap, then a teatowel.  Now let it sit for 5 hours to 5 days, until you are ready to use. When you are ready, place a sheet of unbleached parchment paper on counter, dust with flour and turn out your dough, it will be quite wet so use enough flour so you can handle it to form into a loaf or pizza pie.  Preheat your oven, for pizza 500 degrees for bread 450 degrees.  When oven is heated your dough is ready to bake. You can add fresh or dried herbs to your flour mixture before you add the water, if you wish for special flavors. 

If you want to make wonderful  cinnamon rolls, just spread out the dough as before, and drizzle with organic maple syrup, add cinnamon and raisins, roll up and place in to a 450 degree oven.  All of these will take about 30 min. to bake, depending on your oven.  When done, just slice into servings.   Now enjoy!  Love, Deb.
