Homemade Laminated Dough: Croissant Buns

The Getty1 hairstyle is perfect for those who have piecey bangs and a lob or bob. Allow your bangs to hang loosely in the front and frame your face. Section your hair into three medium-sized portions in the back to begin. Make three medium-sized cornrows at the back of your head, halting at the crown of your head and braiding them in the direction of your ponytail. 3. Next, tie a ponytail around your hair. Using a rubber band or a hair tie, secure your braids into a ponytail once you’re through braiding them.

If you have excess flyaways, don’t be concerned.

PREFERMENT

Milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry or quick yeast, 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons sugar

DOUGH

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
3 cups all purpose flour
3 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
22 teaspoons 2 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, cold but malleable
22 teaspoons 2 3/4 sticks unsalted butter, melted and flexible

FILLING

Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it is just warm enough (80-90 degrees is ideal). Transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl and toss in the yeast. Allow it settle for a minute before adding the flour and mixing until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in volume, about 2-3 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge

MAKE THE DOUGH

Place the preferment in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix on low speed until combined. Toss in the yeast and mix on medium speed for about 4 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides and hook as required. Then, using a medium speed mixer, blend in half of the milk until it is completely integrated. Add the remaining milk, along with the flour, sugar, salt, and melted butter, and mix on low speed for approximately 3 minutes, or until it forms a shaggy dough. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 20 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and continue to mix until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 3-4 minutes, but not for any longer than that. The dough will turn tough if it is overmixed, so be careful. Cover and let to rise for 1-2 hours, or until the volume has increased by half of its original volume. Place the dough on a broad work surface that has been dusted with flour. Form the dough into a rectangle that is approximately two inches thick. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.

LAMINATE THE DOUGH

Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth and slightly softened about an hour before you want to laminate the dough. To get the desired consistency, the butter should be malleable enough to spread yet still cold and reasonably solid. Using too soft butter can result in the butter oozing out of the dough. Transfer the butter to a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a rectangle after it has reached the desired consistency. If the home is warm, cover and refrigerate
Otherwise, leave it at room temperature until ready. Taking the dough out of the refrigerator and transferring it to a lightly floured work area is important. Then, with the long side of the dough facing you, roll it into a 20″x10″ rectangle. Distribute the butter over the left two-thirds of the dough, leaving the right-third naked. You may use your fingers or an offset spatula to spread the butter. The butter should be spread uniformly and a 1/2 inch border around the borders should be left to allow for shrinkage. Fold the naked third (on the right) over the buttered center, then fold the remaining buttered side (on the left) over that, as if it were a letter, to seal the sandwich. Gently squeeze the seams together to completely enclose the butter in the bag. Using your fingers, roll out a new 20-by-10-inch rectangle with the long end facing you again, being careful not to release any of the butter throughout the process. Continue to fold the rectangle into thirds in the same manner as previously, then cover it loosely in plastic wrap and move it to a sheet pan, where it will chill for 1-2 hours. Return the dough to the work surface and sprinkle it with more flour if necessary. Carefully roll out into another 20″x10″ rectangle and fold into thirds one more time to finish the project. Wrap the dish in plastic wrap again and place it in the refrigerator for a further 1-2 hours or overnight to set. It is also possible to freeze the dough at this point for up to 3 months.

ASSEMBLE THE MORNING BUNS

In a small mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt
Set aside. Sprinkle granulated sugar on the interior of each of the 12 muffin cups after lightly brushing the insides with butter. Using your hands, swirl the pan around to cover all sides with sugar, then tap out any leftover sugar (reserve for finishing the buns). Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper. The dough should be taken out of the refrigerator and transferred to a lightly floured work surface, where it should be rolled out to a 16 × 12 rectangle with the long side facing you. Brush the rectangle with the remaining melted butter all over, and then sprinkle the sugar mixture equally over the top of the rectangle
Starting with the long side of the dough facing you, gently shape it into a tight log, pinching the seams together to lock it in place. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up
Remove the log from the refrigerator and cut it into 12 equal pieces with a sharp knife, as shown. Begin by cutting through the middle of each half, then cutting each half in half again, and then cutting each half into thirds
Make individual muffin cups out of each piece of dough
Wrap each one loosely in plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for about 1 hour to proof. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit in the meantime. Place the muffin tray on a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil to collect any drippings before transferring it to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the top is a deep golden brown. As soon as they come out of the oven, generously sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops of the muffins. After about 2-3 minutes in the pan, gently take the buns from the pan and let them to cool upside down on a wire rack. Serve while they are still somewhat warm. The buns are best eaten the same day they are made, but any leftovers may be frozen for later use.

Believe me when I say that when these brioche buns come out of the oven, you will be overjoyed with your accomplishment.

You’ll be clicking photos left and right, just like I did, trust me on this. So put your confidence in me, put your trust in the recipe, and let’s get to work!

Ingredient Notes

We simply require good old-fashioned all-purpose flour for this project. There’s no need for all that glitz and glam. Salt – Trust me when I say that salt makes all the difference, so don’t skimp on it! The flavor of our brioche buns will be enhanced with the addition of salt. Yeast — I used active dry yeast for this recipe. If you want to use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast, the only difference is that active dry yeast must be activated beforehand, whereas instant yeast does not require this step. Water – It is critical that your water be lukewarm before you start cooking. The water temperature should be between 95 and 105 degrees Fahrenheit for this to be effective. You don’t want to use anything that is too hot since it will destroy the yeast. Milk– Just as with water, we want to make sure the milk is lukewarm before using it in our recipe. Ideally, the temperature should range between 95 and 105 degrees. Sugar– When baking bread, sugar is essential since it is what gives the bread its soft and supple texture by absorbing part of the water and inhibiting the production of gluten strands during the baking process. Sugar is also necessary for the growth of yeast. Baking using unsalted butter is one of my favorite things to do. Because we already salt everything, it allows me to manage how much salt is applied to my bread. The butter in this recipe is added after the dough has been allowed to rise, and it is then used to spread the dough out evenly. It is this that will give our brioche buns their flaky texture. Eggs– Only the egg whites will be used in the dough, and the egg yolks will be used to brush the tops of the buns before baking

How To Make Brioche Buns

Activate the yeast: In the bowl of your mixer, combine the warm water, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and the active dry yeast. Mix until well combined. Stir it well and set it aside for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining wet ingredients: Add the remaining sugar, milk, oil, salt, and egg whites and mix everything together until well combined. Make the dough by combining the following ingredients: Add 2 cups of the flour to the mixer bowl and mix on low speed for a couple of minutes until combined. In a cup-at-a-time increments, add additional flour until the dough comes together but is still a little sticky and mushy. My recipe called for 4 cups of flour, but you may find that you need a little more flour than I did. When probed with a finger, the dough should be somewhat sticky and elastic, and it should bounce back to its original shape. Scrape the dough from the bowl with an oiled plastic bench scraper and transfer it to a large mixing bowl that has been well greased. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free setting for 1 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Form the buns

Prepare the oven and baking sheets as follows: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. The dough should be rolled out as follows: To release the air from the dough, punch it down. Using a couple of teaspoons of oil, coat your work surface well. Make a large rectangle out of the dough by spreading it out with your fingers to approximately 20 × 16 inches on the work area. The dough should be pliable enough that you can easily spread it out on a baking sheet. Alternately, you may use a rolling pin to do the job. Create flaky layers by doing the following: Spread approximately 3 tablespoons of the butter over the top of the dough. Make a three-fold fold with your fingers, and then spread the dough out a little further with your fingertips. Continue to fold the dough in thirds, as if it were a letter, by spreading additional 2 tbsp of butter over the new surface of the dough. Distribute the dough out a little further, and then spread the remaining butter over the top of the dough. For the final time, fold it in thirds. Spread the dough out to a size of approximately 12 inches by 8 inches. On the most basic level, we simply formed layers of dough with butter sandwiched between them, comparable to the process of producing croissants. Buns should be formed by cutting the dough into 8 long strips, each strip being approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 long strips, each strip being about 1 1/2 inches wide. Fold each rope in half and twist it, then bring the ends together and squeeze them together to form a connection between the two ends of the rope. If your hands become stuck to the dough, simply coat them with a little oil. Place the buns on the baking sheet that has been prepared
Only 6 buns will fit on a baking sheet, so the other 2 will have to be baked separately.

Finish and bake

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the vanilla paste (if using). Generously brush the buns with this yolk mixture to coat them completely. If you want, you may sprinkle some poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top of the buns before baking them. Heat in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, after transferring the baking sheet to the oven. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling

FAQsExpert Tips

What Is A Brioche BunBrioche buns are a rich, beautiful bun that may be made in a variety of forms. They are traditionally made in France. They’re a little sweeter than a typical bun, a little flakier, almost croissant-like in texture, but a little softer. What Is the Best Way to Serve Brioche Buns? On their own, these buns are delicious; however, they can also be used as sandwich buns, making them ideal for grilled cheese sandwiches. You can also spread jam, Nutella, or everyone’s favorite peanut butter and jelly on them.

Absolutely.

Are these Brioche Buns still possible to make if I don’t have a mixer?

You may still knead the dough by hand, though it will take a little longer.

Tips

The yeast packet or jar must be refrigerated or frozen immediately after it is opened
Otherwise, it will not work well. Ensure that your yeast has not expired by checking the expiration date on the package. It is recommended that you mark the “Best if Used by” date on all of your yeast products, whether they are in jars or packages. Dough flourishes in an atmosphere that is warm and free of drafts. If your oven has a “proof” setting, take use of it. The “proof” feature preheates the oven to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a warm, but not scorching atmosphere in which your dough can rise properly. Even if your oven does not have a “proof” option, I would still recommend that you utilize it. The first thing I do is preheat the oven to 200F degrees (or whichever setting is the lowest for this particular model). Upon reaching that temperature, switch off the oven before placing the dough in it for rising. Consequently, the proofreading process will be significantly accelerated. The amount of flour you use in these buns is entirely dependent on your local climate and conditions. It might range from 4 to 6 cups, depending on the recipe. Due to the fact that I live in a very dry climate, I always have to use less flour than the recipe calls for. If you reside in a humid location, you will need to use extra flour. Remember that the dough is so soft that you don’t even need to roll it out with a rolling pin
You can simply spread the dough out with your fingertips instead.

Storing Brioche Buns

It is true that brioche buns are best consumed on the day that they are made, but if you do have any leftover buns, they will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature. I normally just put them in a ziploc bag and call it a day.

Freezing

It is possible to freeze these brioche buns for up to 3 months, and they will keep in the freezer for that long. Just make sure they’re totally cooled down to room temperature before you use them. As soon as they have cooled, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a ziploc container to freeze.

Finish And Bake

Make sure your oven and baking sheets are ready before you begin. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (gas mark 4). Put parchment paper on two baking sheets and set them aside for later. Using the dough, roll it out as follows. To expel the air from the dough, punch it down firmly. Two teaspoons of oil should be used to coat your work surface. Transfer the dough to a work surface and, using your fingers, spread the dough into a large rectangle about 20 x 16 inches in size. Make sure the dough is soft enough to be able to distribute it easily. Instead of a rolling pin, you may use something like this: Flaky layers should be created: Apply 3 tablespoons of the melted butter to the dough’s surface and press it in firmly. Fold the dough in thirds and stretch it out a little further with your fingertips. Once again, fold the dough in thirds, as if it were a letter, using the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to spread on top of the new surface. Spread the dough out a little further and then dot the top with the remaining butter. One more time, fold it in thirds. Spread the dough out to a size of approximately 12 inches by 8 inches on a flat surface. As far as the actual baking goes, we just constructed layers of dough with butter between them, similar to the process of producing croissants
Buns should be formed by cutting the dough into 8 long strips, each strip being approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into eight long strips, each strip being about 1 1/2 inches wide. Fold each rope in half and twist it, then bring the ends together and squeeze them together to form a connection between the two ends of the cord. Using a small amount of oil will prevent your hands from sticking to the dough. Make sure to place the buns on a baking sheet that has been prepared

Tartine Bakery’s Morning Buns

UPDATE: I’m currently working on an article on Tartine’scroissant dough, and as part of that process, I’ve made some changes to the recipe below. There are various more notes, make-ahead suggestions, and updated images in this edition. Please feel free to post any questions in the comments section. Morning buns are essentially kouign amanns on a much larger scale. Using an orange zest and cinnamon-spiked sugar combination, the bottom of the bun caramelizes to perfection, while the laminated dough turns crackly on the outside and delicate as a pillow on the inside.

I make thecroissant dough from the original Tartine recipe, which I strongly suggest, as well as the guidebook that contains the recipe.
All of the recipe notes are accurate, and all measurements (grams, cups, ounces, and so on) are included.
The latter element is both a practical and beautiful addition.
UsingTartine’sratios, I’ve created a flaky all-butter pie that has yet to disappoint me.
Suggestions for Preparing a Recipe Size of a Morning Bun Despite the fact that the photographs in this post are of two separate bakes (with comments supplied beneath each image), they are all flaky pleasures regardless of their size.
When I first tried this recipe, I was dealing with leftover croissant dough, which resulted in buns that were little but delicious nonetheless.
Don’t be too worried with the size of your serving because it is more of an aesthetic consideration than a matter of taste.

Golden Crescent Rolls

Oh Yay! My first experience with baking from home was with sourdough bread, and I was a little intimidated by the prospect of it. I was very astonished by how simple it actually was. Particularly tedious was the process of rolling out the dough. And it rose so nicely. I’m delighted with my accomplishment, and they taste fantastic! ADDITIONAL NOTE: After preparing these numerous times, I unintentionally discovered that allowing the rolls to sit for an additional hour before baking them actually improves the flavor of the rolls greatly.

I had to bake these at 325 degrees instead of 400 degrees since the 400 degrees that the recipe called for burnt the bottoms while leaving the tops undercooked.
As a result of the health dangers linked with shortening, I replaced butter for the shortening in the recipe, and the results were still delicious.
Compared to a croissant, these are denser, but not as dense as something like a yeast roll.
Thank you for your contribution!
We used whole wheat flour in place of half of the regular flour called for in the recipe.
This dish is both tasty and simple to prepare.
I was able to complete it with the assistance of my fellow foodies.

Because there are only two of us, I divided the recipe in half.

For dessert, I cooked Cinnamon Rolls, which were delicious.

I rolled it up and cut it, then placed it in a circular pan to rise.

I had some left over in the fridge, and it kept quite nicely.

Thank you very much!

Although not a croissant, this roll is significantly lighter than the usual roll.

The dough is highly recommended and performs well in a bread machine.

I will definitely be cooking these again and again since my four sons eat them up in no time.

My 5-year-old gave it a rating of “5 fingers plus one thumb on the other hand, for a total of 6 stars!”:) It was really simple to put together.

I sliced the rolls into wedges using a pizza cutter and then set them on baking pans coated with parchment paper.

I followed the advise of other reviews and reduced my oven temperature to 350 degrees.

I used melted butter to brush the tops of the cookies, as instructed, and they turned out very delicious.

They’re so beautiful and delicious, it’s astonishing.

I’ve already printed it out and placed it in a 3-ring binder for future reference.

My mother-in-law is an excellent cook, and she even complimented me on my dishes!

With this recipe, you can accomplish both goals!

I dusted a small amount of egg white on top of each roll, which gave them a beautiful brow appearance.
I’m going to bake them over and over again!
I’ve tried three times and haven’t been too impressed.
In any case, I’m going to keep looking.

Fruit-Filled Morning Buns

Grease the wells of a 12-cup muffin tray generously with butter. Fill each well with a teaspoon of granulated sugar, then tap the pan on the counter several times to coat the insides with the sugar mixture. Turn the pan over and lightly touch the bottom to remove any excess oil. To prepare the filling, follow these steps: Then, using a fork, thoroughly mix in the cinnamon and orange zest to ensure that it is evenly dispersed. In order to assemble: Roll the dough into a rectangle about 18″ x 8″
Melted butter should be brushed onto the rectangle. Sprinkle the sugar mixture generously over the dough and softly press it into the butter with a rolling pin to ensure that it is evenly distributed. Make a tight cylinder out of the dough by rolling it up from the long edge. 1 1/2″ slices should be cut from the whole loaf. Placing the slices in the wells of the prepared pan and allowing them to rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in a place no warmer than 75°F will result in a fluffy bun (any warmer and the butter may begin to leak out). The size of the buns should be increased by one and a half to two times their original dimensions. Preheat the oven to 375°F toward the end of the rising period
If preferred, just before baking, butter the back of a spoon and press it down into the middle of the buns. Set aside a cooling rack on top of a piece of parchment paper and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the buns are deep golden brown. Place the pan on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper and bake for another 40 to 45 minutes, or until the buns are deep golden brown. Remove the buns from the oven and immediately (and carefully) lift them out of the pan and onto a rack to cool completely. If desired, roll the heated buns in granulated sugar and sprinkle the tops of the buns once more with sugar before serving. Allow to cool slightly before serving hot or at room temperature. Allow for up to two days of storage at room temperature with a light covering. for extended storage, place in the freezer

Prepare the Butter Block

Prepare the butter while the dough is chilling in the refrigerator. Place the butter sticks on top of a clean, lint-free kitchen towel, side by side, so that they create a solid block of butter (do not use terry towels). If your butter is not already cut into sticks, just cut them into pieces that are almost the same thickness and place them in a nice block as illustrated above to make a block of butter. Now, using a rolling pin, pound the butter until it is pliable in consistency. We want it to be soft, but not too frigid.

Wrap the butter fully in the towels and store it in the refrigerator until required again.

Enclose the Butter Block Inside the Dough

After the dough has been chilled, unroll it and roll it into a rectangle of 16 x 10 inches. The butter block should be placed in the center of the dough. Aim for a parallel alignment between the long side of the butter and the short side of dough while cutting the dough. In business letter format, fold the dough as follows: Fold the bottom portion of the pastry all the way up to the middle to completely cover the butter. Stretching the dough as needed to keep the edges straight is recommended.

Fold the Dough to Get the Beautiful Layers

Following cooling the dough, unroll it and roll it into a 16 by 10-inch rectangle using parchment paper on the surface. The center of the dough should have the butter block on it. Aim for a parallel alignment of the long side of the butter and the short side of dough on the baking sheet. In business letter format, fold the dough in half. To completely cover the butter, fold the bottom portion of the pastry over to the middle. It may be essential to stretch the dough a little in order to maintain straight edges.

Repeat the Folding Three More Times

This rolling and folding process needs to be repeated three more times. When you reposition the dough after it has been chilled, make sure that the short side is facing you this time. Make a second dough rectangle 15 by 10 inches in size and fold it in half business letter style to finish the second batch of dough. The butter may peep out of the dough at any stage, and ripping may occur. To prevent this from happening, simply patch the tear with a tiny quantity of flour to cover it. After the fourth and final fold, place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, but not more than 18 hours, before baking.

Here are some examples of what you may make with this croissant dough:

Chocolate Croissants
Cream Cheese Croissants
Tartine’s Morning Buns
Cinnamon Roll Croissant Cake
Chocolate Croissants

It is quite fulfilling to produce homemade and fresh pastries, therefore I hope that one of these days you will free up some of your time and make this excellent croissant dough, for which you will be highly rewarded with the delectable results! Enjoy!

Croissant Dough

A straightforward recipe for croissant dough that results in flaky and buttery pastry every time.

Preparation time: 2 hours 30 minutes Preparation time: 12 minutes The dough has to be chilled for 11 hours. Time allotted: 52 minutes Servings32croissantsCalories147kcal Authorsanna

1.5 cups whole milk heated at 105°F–110°F
1 teaspoon + 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/4 cup packaged light brown sugar
3 3/4 to 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 sticks cold unsalted butter 1 1/2 quarts

Make dough:

Warm the milk, brown sugar, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer on low speed until well combined. Allow the mixture to sit for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and thick. Discard and start over if the mixture doesn’t froth. Add 3 3/4 cups flour and the salt to the mixing bowl and, using the doughhook attachment, mix on low for about 7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and soft. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead it by hand for about 2 minutes, or until it is smooth. Add flour, a little at a time, if required, to form a soft, somewhat sticky dough that holds together when pressed. When the dough is smooth and not too sticky, you have used up all of the ingredients. You will only need approximately 1-3 tablespoons of flour for this recipe. The remainder can be used for rolling and folding purposes. Pat and shape the dough into a roughly 1 1/2-inch-thick rectangle, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour

Prepare and shape butter:

Place a clean, lint-free towel on a clean surface (a non-fibrous towel is best for this task.) Avoid using terry towels in this situation. Make a block out of the butter sticks by arranging them so that the edges of the block are touching. Roll out the butter with a rolling pin to soften it somewhat, but keep it cold so that it remains flexible. Place a second towel over the butter and set aside. Roll and pound the butter into a rectangle about 8 x 5 inches on the kitchen towel and set it aside. Wrap the butter fully in the towels and place it in the refrigerator until it is used

Enclose the Butter

After the dough has been allowed to cool, remove it from the plastic wrap and place it on a clean, floured surface. Form the dough into a rectangle measuring 16 x 10 inches. If necessary, flour your work surface and rolling pin. Lift the dough frequently and stretch the corners to ensure that the dough maintains its rectangle form. Remove the butter from its wrapper by carefully peeling it away from the cloths and placing it in the center of the dough. Aim for a parallel alignment between the long side of the butter and the short side of dough while cutting the dough. After folding in the bottom portion of the dough over the butter, continue folding in the upper portion of the dough over it, completely enclosing and containing the butter within the dough. The business letter style fold is the name given to this fold.

Roll and Fold the Dough

The dough should be unwrapped and transferred to a clean, floured surface after it has been cooled for at least 30 minutes. Rectangles of 16 by 10 inches should be formed from the dough. If necessary, flour the surface and rolling pin. The dough should be lifted and stretched often in order to keep its rectangle form. To assemble, carefully take the cloths off the butter and arrange it in the middle of the dough. Aim for a parallel alignment of the long side of the butter and the short side of dough on the baking sheet. In order to completely enclose and protect the butter inside the dough, fold in half the bottom part of the dough and then fold in half the top part of the dough over it. Business letter style fold refers to the way a document is folded in half.

Repeat the Rolling and Folding

To make it three times, repeat the rolling and folding process: After chilling, unroll dough and roll it in the same manner as before, with the short side facing you. Fold the paper in the manner of a business letter and set it aside. After the last fold, place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours but no more than 18 hours. The dough is now ready to be rolled out and used in your recipe as specified.
