And because the large number of ingredients and the multiplicity of steps make the decision to knead and prepare a decision that is not easy, especially in the presence of ready-made alternatives in the market, the 10-minute dough comes to prove its ability to solve the problem, whether in time or ease of ingredients and preparation.

This versatile dough, with a perfect texture and a delicious taste that is palatable, can be used to make pizza, assorted pies, manakeesh, cakes, or the famous beehive bread and other delicious dishes. It only requires simple modifications in the methods of preparation, shaping and cooking according to the desired purpose.

How to make the 10-minute dough

In order to make a fluffy dough for use in pastries and pizza, you need the following ingredients:

  • All-purpose flour

  • Two cups of warm water

  • sugar

  • yeast

  • olive oil

  • salt (optional)

According to the 10-minute dough method published by the “taste great foodie” website, put sugar and two cups of warm water and mix them in a large bowl, then add the yeast, leave the mixture a little before adding the flour and stir it using a wooden spoon.

Then you can start kneading, and because the dough will become sticky at this stage, add a little oil slowly while kneading until the ingredients mix well, and you can use it immediately, but it is better to leave the dough to rest.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place a towel over it and leave it aside for 10 minutes, after that you can shape the dough and roll it out to make pizza, pies, or whatever you want to prepare.

How to use the 10-minute paste

The dough needs 10 minutes to rest after preparing it for all-purpose work, but allowing it to rest longer can enhance the texture of the dough.

And if you feel that the dough is dry, you can add a little water, but if the dough is very sticky, brush some flour on it and knead it again until it becomes soft and airy, and you can also add a little cooking oil to it or put olive oil on your hands and then knead it until you get Desired texture.

In order to benefit from the yeast added to the dough, mix the sugar first in the warm water, then add the yeast and mix well and wait until some bubbles or foam appear on the surface to ensure its effect in the dough.

10-minute dough with brown flour

For a healthy recipe, dispense with half the amount of white flour with whole wheat or wholemeal flour, and you can choose the type of flour (flour) you prefer to prepare the 10-minute dough, by choosing between:

  • Self-raising flour:

It is a mixture of all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder, which can be used in cake recipes and some bread recipes that do not require yeast.

  • All-purpose flour:

Commonly used flour made from a combination of hard and soft wheat, contains moderate levels of protein and starch compared to other flours, works well with cakes, pastries, bread and other uses.

  • Bread flour:

Made entirely of durum wheat, this type of flour is high in gluten, which helps bread dough rise. This type of flour works best with yeast dough, especially bread, which is why it is called "bread" flour.

  • Whole wheat flour:

Made by blending whole red wheat kernels, this flour is higher in nutrients and fiber than regular white or all-purpose fiber, which is why it tends to be known as a "healthy" flour.

  • oatmeal:

This type of flour is made from ground oats, not wheat, which makes it an ideal choice for gluten-free diets.

It can be prepared easily at home if you have dry oats, by grinding it in a food processor or blender until it becomes a powder.

This type of flour needs more liquids in the kneading stage than regular wheat flour.

10-minute dough with milk

Another way to make a 10-minute dough using powdered milk is on the Bridge of Spies website. The ingredients you need are:

  • 2 tablespoons or a bag of dry yeast

  • Two tablespoons of sugar

  • tablespoon salt

  • warm water cup

  • 5 cups flour (divided)

  • teaspoon baking powder (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons powdered milk (or milk)

  • 1/2 cup oil

How to prepare:

Mix the yeast, sugar and salt in a cup of warm water to allow it to activate for 5 minutes, then add two cups of flour and baking powder to a mixing bowl, and once the dry ingredients are mixed, pour the yeast mixture over it.

Mix it well and leave it covered for 10 minutes, the texture of the mixture will be liquid, and after the time is up, you will notice the presence of bubbles in the mixture, and this is an indication of the effectiveness of the yeast.

Add the remaining 3 cups of flour, dry milk and ½ cup of oil and mix the ingredients together.

If necessary, more flour can be added while kneading to make a soft dough.

At this point, the 10-minute dough is ready to use. For a softer dough, let the dough rest and cover for an hour.

10-minute dough with yogurt

If you want to make a quick and easy pizza without the need for many ingredients and steps, all you need is a cup of self-raising flour and a cup of yogurt, according to the method published by the Allrecipes website.

Mix the flour and yogurt together in a bowl until you get a cohesive dough, and you can add more flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking too much, for 10 minutes.

Then, spread the dough in a 12-inch pizza tray after brushing it with a little cooking oil so that the dough does not stick to it, and put the additions you like on it and then put it in the oven to settle.

10-minute dough without powdered milk

Start by stirring the yeast in warm water and leave it for a few minutes, although instant yeast is used in this recipe, we need to do this step to make sure that the yeast works well.

Mix 1 cup of flour, water, yeast, sugar and yoghurt together, cover and leave for 10 minutes, until small bubbles form on them.

Then add the rest of the flour, oil and salt and mix them well, then use your hands to knead for a few minutes, until you get a soft dough.

And to make kneading easier, you can put a little oil on your hands, and know that sticky dough is an indication of a soft dough, which is what we are looking for.

Beehive dough method 10 minutes

Once the dough is ready, divide it into balls of equal size as much as possible, then roll each ball with your hand greased with oil, and fill it with a piece of cheese, then close it, and after the rest of the balls are finished, put them in a pan, keeping a small distance between the balls.

Then brush it with egg wash, put some sesame seeds and nigella seeds on it, and it will be ready to bake in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes, and once it comes out of the oven, brush it with honey.
