BON BON COOKIE DOUGH RECIPES

Steps:

• To make this recipe, start by preparing one batch of the Master Bread Dough.
• Liberally coat an 8½x4½" or 9x5" loaf pan with extra-virgin olive oil. Lightly flour work surface with bread flour and turn out Master Bread Dough onto surface. Roll dough over onto itself, applying pressure with your fingers to seal closed and tighten log. Use your fingers to roll ends of log against surface to close. (Click here to see Bryan's motions.) Place dough in pan and brush with more extra-virgin olive oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and let dough rise until about ½" above edge of pan, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425°. Sprinkle top liberally with flaky sea salt. Bake until golden brown, 35–40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cook in pan 5 minutes. Turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely before slicing.
• Do ahead: Bread can be baked 3 days ahead. Store in a paper bag or a bread box at room temperature, or slice and freeze up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 8-inch-diameter cake pan or cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in large bowl to blend. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Make well in center of flour mixture. Add buttermilk. Gradually stir dry ingredients into milk to blend. Mix in raisins.
• Using floured hands, shape dough into ball. Transfer to prepared pan and flatten slightly (dough will not come to edges of pan). Sprinkle dough with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake bread until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool bread in pan 10 minutes. Transfer to rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
