Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 2 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp. active dry or instant yeast
  • 6-⅔ cups all-purpose flour 
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 3 tsp. salt
  • 1-½ cups plain yogurt
  • 2 whole eggs

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine lukewarm milk with sugar and yeast.
  • Let the mixture stand until yeast activates; it will become foamy and start expanding.
  • Put the yeast mixture, together with all other ingredients, in the bowl of your mixer or food processor; mix well.
  • You should get soft dough, similar to pizza dough.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little bit of milk or water.
  • If the dough is too soft, add a little bit of flour.
  • You can use miracle Crazy Dough immediately - shape it into whatever shape you like, wait 15 to 20 minutes in the warm kitchen until it starts expanding, then pop in a hot oven.
  • When ready to bake, pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  • Brush the surface of the bread with milk.
  • Place in oven and bake for about 30 to 35 min or until skewer inserted in the center of the bread remains clean.
  • Remove from oven; let cool to a room temperature prior to serving.

Notes

Put Crazy Dough in a plastic bag, squeeze the air out and close the bag. Just to be safe, you can put it in a second bag because the dough will continue expanding and the first bag could burst.  Keep it in your refrigerator for up to 3 days or the dough can be frozen.
