The crazy dough is one dough that you can make so many different pieces of bread from both sweet and savory. You can use this dough to make pizza, naan bread, even cinnamon rolls. Get started by mixing wet ingredients in a jug, pour in some lukewarm milk, make sure it is warm to help the yeast grow. Add in some sugar the dry yeats and whisk them together until the yeast has dissolved then set that aside. In a separate bowl, add in some yogurt and an egg then whisk them together until well combined. If you don’t eat eggs, you can leave them out and add a little more milk.

For the dry ingredients, add in flour in a bowl, then add salt for flavor, baking powder and then take a whisk and shimmy them together. Start combing both the wet and dry ingredients to make the dough, add in the yeast mix to the dry ingredients and te follow that with the yogurt. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, bring all the dough together, if the dough is still dry, add in a little milk to wet the extra flour. Likewise, if you find your dough too sticky, add a little flour to make it a bit stiffer. You do not need a stand mixer or abread machine to make this dough. Once the dough is formed, cover it with a cling wrap and then tightly cover the top of the bowl, you don’t want any air to get in there.

Cover it with a nice clean tea towel to provide the warmth and help the dough rise. Set that aside and let it proof for at least two hours. Once the dough has doubled or tripled in size, it is ready for use. If you don’t want to use it straight away, you can pop it in the fridge for up to three days.
