About Bread Dough

Bread dough can be made in a mixer equipped with a dough hook, in a bread machine, in a food processor, or in the old-fashioned way, by hand. Contrary to popular opinion, bread dough improves in flavor if it rises slowly in a cool place. I let it rest overnight in a cool place or in the refrigerator. Bread dough can be refrigerated for up to three days. For a delicious snack, take pieces of dough the size of a walnut, flatten it with your hands, and fry until lightly golden in canola or vegetable oil. Sprinkled with salt it is delicious; sprinkled with sugar it becomes a dessert.
