Meal planning can be a daunting task, especially if you’re trying to balance a busy schedule and the need to eat healthy, home-cooked meals. One simple way to streamline your meal planning process is to have a basic dough on hand in the refrigerator that you can use to make a variety of dishes.
Having a dough in the fridge allows you to be more spontaneous with your meal choices and can save you time and effort in the kitchen. You can use it to make pizzas, calzones, bread rolls, and even sweet treats like cinnamon rolls. Get creative!
Once you’ve mixed up your Bucket of Bread brand dough with lukewarm water, cover the bucket with lid and let it rise for two to three hours. Once it has doubled in size (towards the top of the bucket) place it in the fridge to rest. The dough may continue to rise but will continue developing flavors as it chills. You can keep the dough in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks, or you can freeze it for up to three months.
When you’re ready to use the dough, take it out of the fridge and allow what you plan on using to come to room temperature for best results. This will make it easier to work with. Then, form it into your desired shape to create something wonderful and fresh.
You can use the dough to make a variety of dishes. For a quick and easy meal, top it with your favorite pizza toppings and bake it in the oven until the crust is golden brown. Or you can fill it with a savory filling like sausage, peppers, and onions to make calzones.
You can also use the dough to make bread rolls. Simply divide the dough into small pieces, roll them into balls, and place them on a baking sheet. Allow the rolls to rest while the oven preheats to around 450 F, then bake them until they’re golden brown. You can use egg-wash if you want to have them beautifully shiny.
If you’re in the mood for something sweet, the Bucket of Bread brand dough are great for cinnamon rolls. Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, spread it with a mixture of butter, sugar, and cinnamon, then roll it up into a tight spiral. Slice the roll into individual cinnamon rolls and bake them until they’re golden brown and gooey. Or, try the cardamom version. You can find these in the recipe section of the website. You can even submit recipes for your own creations named just how you want and backlinked to your URL!
