Today I am sharing with you a recipe that I am sure you will love, the Crazy Dough Pastries in 4 Different Shapes. This recipe has really solved many problems especially for its simplicity in execution. Crazy dough is truly a lifesaver as you do not need to use yeast to make it, just flour, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. In some cases, a tablespoon of wine or a tablespoon of vinegar is used. These serve to make the dough more elastic and fragrant. The crazy dough is a base dough for many savory pies such as the Quick Escarole Pizza with Crazy Dough, or the Stuffed Pugliese Pizza with Crazy Dough also sweet recipes like Crazy Dough Recipe Filled with Jam and Nuts. Naturally, if you need to make sweet recipes, it is advisable to use the base recipe without wine or vinegar to make the dough as neutral as possible, a mixture that resembles a lot of shortcrust dough except that it does not contain butter.
