Yogurt Dough

This post definitely fits in the musings side of this blog. I just love this versatile dough so I thought I'd share it with you. It can be found in Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions and on The Heavenly Homemaker's blog.

The Best Part:

• only 4 ingredients
• it's easy to make
• you make it the night before, so it's ready to go the next day with no prep
• you can use whole wheat flour
• soaking the dough breaks down the phytates in the flour making it more digestible
• no yeast...can't mess up this dough!

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups flour (I use white wheat flour...I like King Arthur brand)
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 cup butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup yogurt

Directions:
Cream butter and yogurt. Mix all other ingredient in until a nice dough has formed. Cover bowl and leave in a warm place for 12-24 hours.

I've used this for pizza, quiche, and empanadas although I know I've just tapped the surface of possibilities for this dough. My sister-in-law has stuffed the dough with fruit to make a breakfast or dessert. And I love the flavor of the dough. It has a 'bite' to it, I think because of the yogurt. So healthy and easy!
