SWEET DOUGH RECIPE NO YEAST RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat milk in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave until an instant-read thermometer registers 110°–115°. Transfer milk to a 2-cup measuring cup; stir in 1 Tbsp. sugar. Sprinkle yeast over milk and whisk to blend. Let sit until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs; whisk until smooth.
• Combine remaining 4 Tbsp. sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. (If making Vanilla Cloverleaf Sweet Rolls, scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. If making Apricot-Anise Tarts, add aniseed.) Add milk mixture. With mixer running, add 1/2 cup room-temperature butter, 1 piece at a time, blending well between additions. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Knead on medium-high speed until dough is soft and silky, about 5 minutes.
• Brush a medium bowl with some melted butter; place dough in bowl. Brush top of dough with remaining melted butter; cover with plastic wrap. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic; chill.
• Let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, 1–1 1/2 hours (or 2–2 1/2 hours if dough has been refrigerated).
• No stand mixer? Don't worry. Fit your food processor with the standard chopping or dough blade, then make the milk mixture according to the dough recipe (above), including whisking in the eggs. Combine remaining 4 Tbsp. sugar, flour, and salt in food processor. (If making Vanilla Cloverleaf Sweet Rolls, scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. If making Apricot-Anise Tarts, add aniseed.) Pulse to blend. Add milk mixture; process until combined. With processor running, add 1/2 cup room-temperature butter, 1 piece at a time, blending well between additions. Process until dough is soft and silky, 2–3 minutes longer. Dough will be sticky but should not be greasy. If it is greasy, process for an additional 1–2 minutes. Transfer dough to the buttered bowl and continue with recipe as directed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F and place a pizza stone or flat/inverted baking sheet inside
• Once oven is preheated, let pan heat for at least 15 minutes

• The dough will be shaggy
• Combine dough together with your hands and knead for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth
• If the dough feels sticky, add a light sprinkle of flour and knead until tacky to touch
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface
• Using a rolling pin, roll dough to desired shape and size using the dimensions of your preheated pizza stone or pan as a guide
• When your pan is thoroughly preheated, sprinkle evenly with cornmeal or semolina
• Carefully transfer rolled-out dough to the pan and parbake for 5 minutes to set
