The Recipe Box: Homestead Yeast Dough



One of the ways my family helps with budgeting is by hand down kitchen and household items that are no longer in use. My mother gave me a bread machine that she just didn't like. I tried several bread and dough recipes and none of them came out the way I wanted. They were either too dense or they just didn't bake up well. A few years ago, while searching for another recipe, I found a channel on YouTube called Homestead Acres. She did a video on dinner rolls and that turned out to be the perfect recipe for me.

Here is the video that gives the recipe and walks you through the process. Before you put it into action, let me share a few key points that I found with this recipe.

1) I don't bake it in the bread machine. I let it mix and rise, but remove it and bake in the oven.

2) You can freeze this recipe! If you want to freeze the dough, just separate it, let it rise again (it even rises great in the fridge) then oil the ball of dough, flour a freezer bag, and toss the dough in there. When you are ready to use it, let it thaw during the day and use it with dinner as normal.

3) We use this for bread as well as pizza dough. It makes the most amazing pizza dough.

4) This recipe makes 2 medium loaves of bread, 2 dozen dinner rolls, or 2 medium sized pizzas.
