Ten Minute Multi-Use Dough

Ingredients

• 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (corn oil, canola oil, or olive oil)
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar (1/4 cup for sweeter dough)
• 3 tablespoons powdered milk (optional, see notes)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups warm water (or warm milk for softer dough)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, start by mixing the following 2 cups of all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, baking powder, powdered milk, and salt. Then, add warm water. I recommend using warm milk for a softer dough.

2. 2

   Mix them all together until it's smooth using your hands or a stand mixer. It'll be liquidly, but that's fine. Cover it, and let it sit in a warm place for 10-15 minutes until it becomes bubbly. You can cover it with a blanket or two.

3. 3

   Once the 10 minutes are over, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and the oil to the dough. Mix them well.

4. 4

   Knead it for about 5-10 minutes. It will come together really quickly.

5. 5

   Now, it's ready to use for anything your family asks for.

6. 6

   Check notes for which doughs I recommend an eggwash for.
