Tips:
- Colder dough is easier to work with but may take longer to bake.
- Save a tablespoon of the mix before adding water and use that when forming your dough on the countertop to help prevent sticking.
- Want a stiffer dough? Use a little less water than the directions show. Try 1 1/4 cup of water instead! This helps for some easier shaping especially on the Traditional White blends.
Basic Instructions:
- Combine 1 Big Bag with 1 little bag and about 1.5 cups of lukewarm water. The large bucket kits have 2 of each bag. You can make the whole bucket by doubling the water to 3 cups.
- Mix the ingredients until there is nothing dry left. You can even use a stand mixer when you want to mix the ingredients.
- Get the soon to be dough back into the bucket and rest the lid on it (don’t reseal it). Let it sit in a room temperature location for about 2-3 hours. You are looking for the dough to double in size.
- For bread, give it a shape you like, you can even use a loaf pan; however, parchment paper lined cooking sheet works great too. If you bake 1 whole bag from the baking kit, use 450F at about 30 mins for a loaf of bread. You’re looking for an internal temp of 190F. For other recipe ideas, just follow the instructions.
- Any left over dough will last in a sealed bucket for about 2 weeks. Your bucket of dough is now a meal prep kit for baking! Just grab handfuls at a time and turn the dough into whatever you’d like to make without the wait of it having to rise again!
