  • About

There are two main categories of yeasted dough: lean dough and enriched dough. Lean doughs do not contain any fat (or contain very little fat) while enriched doughs have a high ratio of fat added to them as well as things like sugar, eggs, and milk.

Lean dough creates breads that are typically crusty on the outside and very chewy in the middle. Things like baguette, ciabatta, pizza crust, and crusty artisan-style breads are all made from lean dough. Enriched doughs create breads that are much softer and more tender in texture due to the fat. Breads made from enriched doughs include soft dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, brioche, challah, and yeasted donuts.
