BASIC SWEET DOUGH
I have made plenty of sweet breads, and I always favored the Hungarian Coffee Cake and Swedish Tea Ring. This sweet dough recipe is my mother's, and this works out really well because it is an old recipe. I have also used others which were more recent and still turned out well, but this one is the best I have found. Use this recipe for the basis of your sweet breads.

CAJUN SWEET DOUGH
Down in Louisiana this dough is used to make what we call Cajun Sweet Dough. The traditional filling is fig and it is made into turnovers, but it can also be used as pie crust, although it is not as flaky. It is supreme as turnover dough, for ANY kind of filling.

Steps:
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

- Before you use this dough, be sure you chill it well at least 2 hours or even overnight.
- To make turnovers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 inch squares. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pie filling into the center of each square and fold over to form a triangle. Pinch the seams to seal or press with the tines of a fork. Place at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the tops and bottom.

CDQ SWEET DOUGH
My mother's recipe. CDQ = Can Do Quick. It only needs to rise once. We grew up eating cinnamon rolls made with this. She also recommends it for crescent rolls. In my opinion, breads made with this tend to be dry so it's not my first choice. But it is quick . . .

BASIC SWEET DOUGH
This sweet dough recipe takes advantage of this time saving ingredient to make pastries. I love adding a chocolate filling and braiding the dough. -Jenny Reece, Lowry, Minnesota

- To achieve the best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing.
- Use a digital kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially for baking recipes.
- When adding flour to the dough, do it gradually to avoid over-mixing. Over-mixing can result in a tough dough.
- For even baking, divide the dough into equal portions before shaping into rolls or loaves.
- If you have time, let the dough rise in a warm place for longer than the minimum time indicated in the recipe. This will result in a more flavorful and airy dough.
- If you're short on time, you can use a bread machine to knead and rise the dough.
- To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands or the work surface, lightly grease them with oil or use a nonstick spray.
- To add variety to your sweet dough recipes, try adding different flavorings such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract. You can also add dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips.
- Once the dough is baked, let it cool completely before slicing or serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Store leftover sweet dough in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
